This text is a comprehensive overview of the roots history and current directions of Africana Philosophy. However for those who are not already students of philosophy it is a good idea to keep the internet handy so that one can understand that references to people like Hegel, Derrida, Foucault, and others that Gordon makes reference to in his text. For that reason Intro to Africana Philosophy can be a bit of tough read but is extremely fulfilling despite this.It is very valuable as a gateway into the texts, thought, and questions that make up Africana philosophy.

In this undergraduate textbook Lewis R. Gordon offers the first comprehensive treatment of Africana philosophy, beginning with the emergence of an Africana (i.e. African diasporic) consciousness in the Afro-Arabic world of the Middle Ages. He argues that much of modern thought emerged out of early conflicts between Islam and Christianity that culminated in the expulsion of the Moors from the Iberian Peninsula, and from the subsequent expansion of racism, enslavement, and colonialism which in their turn stimulated reflections on reason, liberation, and the meaning of being human. His book takes the student reader on a journey from Africa through Europe, North and South America, the Caribbean, and back to Africa, as he explores the challenges posed to our understanding of knowledge and freedom today, and the response to them which can be found within Africana philosophy.
