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.

Review:
"...May very well be one of the handful of theoretical works on race that will help preserve our humanity and guide us gracefully into the next century."
Charles Johnson, New York Times Book Review, 6/21/92

In My Father's House: Africa in the Philosophy of Culture (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780195068528) Appiah, Kwame Anthony Quantity Available: 10
Book Description: Oxford University Press Inc, United States, 1993. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 235 x 159 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery ***** Print on Demand *****. Africa's intellectuals have long been engaged in a conversation among themselves and with Europeans and Americans about what it means to be African. At the heart of these debates on African identity are the seminal works of politicians, creative writers, and philosophers from Africa and its diaspora. In this book, Appiah asks how we should think about the cultural situation of these intellectuals, reading their works in the context both of European and American ideas and of Africa's own indigenous traditions. Appiah draws on his experiences as a Ghanaian in the New World to explore the writings of African and African-American thinkers. In the process, he contributes his own vision of the possibilities and pitfalls of an African identity in the late twentieth century. Setting out to dismantle the specious oppositions between "us" and "them, " the West and the Rest, that have governed so much of the cultural debate about Africa in the modern world, Appiah maintains that all of us, wherever we live on the planet, must explore together the relations between our local cultures and an increasingly global civilization. Appiah combines philosophical analysis with more personal reflections, addressing the major issues in the philosophy of culture through an exploration of the contemporary African predicament.
