Posnock offers a new historical perspective on “black intellectuals†as a social category, ranging from Douglass to Patricia Williams, from Du Bois to Samuel Delany and Adrienne Kennedy. These writers challenge two durable assumptions: that high culture is “white culture†and that racial uplift is the sole concern of the black intellectual.
