The Shadow and the Act: Black Intellectual Practice, Jazz Improvisation, and Philosophical Pragmatism

Though thought of as rivals, Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin, and Amiri Baraka shared a range of interests. Jazz, in particular, was a decisive influence on their thinking. This title connects their writings on jazz to the philosophical tradition of pragmatism, particularly its support for more freedom for individuals and more democratic societies.
