Maria W. Stewart and the Roots of Black Political Thought

Interview with Steve Yates, University Press of Mississippi

September 23rd, 2021

“There is a crucial trajectory from the past to the present work of one of the central figures of contemporary African American philosophy, Charles W. Mills. In his analysis, contract liberalism was initially designed to create and maintain a category of sub persons excluded from the social contract but who sustain the contract’s beneficiaries [in a racial contract]. He argues that radicalizing liberal theory provides the best hope for producing a more egalitarian society in the United States… Since philosophical theories gain credibility and prestige in part through their pedigree, discerning a distinct thread of thought from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries lends authoritative weight to Black revolutionary liberalism—or, as Mills would say, Black radical liberalism, both as a sustained political theory and as an activist movement.” (191) – Kristin Waters, Maria W. Stewart and the Roots of Black Political Thought (2021)
