The beating of Rodney King and the resulting riots in South Central Los Angeles. The violent clash between Hasidim and African-Americans in Crown Heights. The boats of Haitian refugees being turned away from the Land of Opportunity. These are among the many racially-charged images that have burst across our television screens in the last year alone, images that show that for all our complacent beliefs in a melting-pot society, race is as much of a problem as ever in America. In this vastly important, widely-acclaimed volume, Kwame Anthony Appiah, a Ghanaian philosopher who now teaches at Harvard, explores, in his words, "the possibilities and pitfalls of an African identity in the late twentieth century." In the process he sheds new light on what it means to be an African-American, on the many preconceptions that have muddled discussions of race, Africa, and Afrocentrism since the end of the nineteenth century, and, in the end, to move beyond the idea of race. In My Father's House is especially wide-ranging, covering everything from Pan Africanism, to the works of early African-American intellectuals such as Alexander Crummell and W.E.B. Du Bois, to the ways in which African identity influences African literature. In his discussion of the latter subject, Appiah demonstrates how attempts to construct a uniquely African literature have ignored not only the inescapable influences that centuries of contact with the West have imposed, but also the multicultural nature of Africa itself. Emphasizing this last point is Appiah's eloquent title essay which offers a fitting finale to the volume. In a moving first-person account of his father's death and funeral in Ghana, Appiah offers a brilliant metaphor for the tension between Africa's aspirations to modernity and its desire to draw on its ancient cultural roots. During the Los Angeles riots, Rodney King appeared on television to make his now famous plea: "People, can we all get along?" In this beautiful, elegantly written volume, Appiah steers us along a path toward answering a question of the utmost importance to us all.
In this vastly important, widely-acclaimed volume, Appiah, a Ghanaian philosopher who now teaches at Harvard, explores what it means to be an African American, on the many preconceptions that have muddled discussions of face, Africa, and Afrocentrism since the end of the 19th century. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
"A groundbreaking--as well as ground-clearing--analysis of absurdities anddamaging presuppositions that have clouded our discussions of race, Africa andnationalism since the 19th century....Mr. Appiah delivers what may very well beone of the handful of theoretical works on race that will help preserve ourhumanity and guide us gracefully into the next century."--Charles Johnson, TheNew York Times Book Review
"An exceptional work, whose contextual sweep and lucidity provide arefreshing intellectual tone away from yahoo populism. In many profound ways,Kwame Appiah's In My Father's House ushers in a new level of discourse on raceand culture, placing it within a universal narrative--and where else should itbelong'...Without question, a first of its kind."--Wole Soyinka, from Race andthe Rout of Reason
"Appiah's book on the place of Africa in contemporary philosophypowerfully exposes the dangers of any simplistic notion of African identity inthe contemporary world....Tellingly, his reflections upon the calling ofphilosophy and the relation between post-traditional and not-yet-modern Africanculture(s) offer a welcome perspective on the increasingly shrill debates over"multiculturalism" that rend the academy. The epilogue on his father's funeralalone more than justifies the whole book."--Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, CommonKnowledge
"Appiah's concern is, he modestly states, 'with the situation of Africanintellectuals.' In the growing literature on the subject, nobody has definedthat situation, as it exists now, more sharply; nobody has built so many bridgesto a discourse that might be shared universally. Learned yet unpretentious,serious and witty, critical and kind--this book is bound to infuse debates amongAfrican intellectuals with new vigor and to engage philosophers, literarycritics, anthropologists and others everywhere. One also wishes it would beread by politicians for its lucid analyses of racism as well as itsdemonstration of intellectual independence tempered by colonial andpost-colonial experience."--Johannes Fabian, University of Amsterdam
"Appiah's essays are exquisitely and painstakingly argued."--WashingtonPost Book World
"A wonderfully crafted collection of essays."--In My Father's House
"Illumined in this book are issues of race and ethnicity; culture andrationality; literature and cosmology; orality, literacy, and philosophy....Thefocus is on Africa, and the commitment, both moral and emotional, is to Africa;but the intellectual standpoint is universal. Appiah's philosophical genius andwide learning are evident on every page. All readers, in particular, those withany interest in Africa--literary, philosophical, historical, anthropological,political--should find the book both stimulating and instructive."--KwasiWiredu, University of South Florida
"In My Father's House is a remarkable book that brings previouslyinvisible cultural assumptions to the surface and obliges us to rethink ourconceptions about African identity. Drawing upon a variety of elegantly analyzedhistorical examples and relating them to his own personal experiences of theAfrican world, Anthony Appiah convincingly demonstrates the need to go beyondstereotyped notions of race and futile laments about past injustices. Hisobservations about authenticity movements, the persistence of Westernconstructions of African realities, and the emergence of new syntheses ofknowledge among African peoples represent a major breakthrough in the ongoingdebate over the future of African culture."--Richard Bjornson, Ohio StateUniversity
"Interesting and thought-provoking."--Safro Kwame, LincolnUniversity
"Montaigne invented the modern essay;...Appiah has the brilliance toextend it."--The Village Voice
"This is an absorbing and path-breaking book by a gifted philosopher.Appiah rescues the philosophy of culture from Herder by insisting that we dropnotions like 'authentic negritude' and that 'African culture' is the name of animportant project rather than of an available datum. The book's range ofreference and the vigor of its argumentation are equally impressive."--RichardRorty, University of Virginia
