Reimagines the Enlightenment from the position of the Black subject. Parekh examines the work of such Black writers as the free Jamaican Francis Williams (1697–1762), Afro-British thinker Ignatius Sancho (ca. 1729–1780), and Afro-American poet Phillis Wheatley (ca. 1753–1784) alongside that of their white European contemporaries David Hume (1711-1776) and Immanuel Kant (1724-1804).
