On James Baldwin: History, Responsibility, and Atonement

Melvin Rogers is the Edna and Richard Salomon Distinguish Professor scholar and stands as a distinguished academic renowned for his insightful contributions to the discourse on race and democracy within the realms of American culture and politics. His writings, including The Darkened Light of Faith: Race, Democracy, and Freedom in African American Political Thought, African American Political Thought: A Collected History, The Undiscovered Dewey: Religion, Morality and the Ethos of Democracy, carefully examine the philosophical and cultural resources of America’s past to grapple with the problems of race, the dangers to democratic life, and the crisis of character. In doing so, he stands in the grand tradition of philosophical reflection and cultural criticism that we find in Frederick Douglass, John Dewey, W. E. B. Du Bois, and James Baldwin.
