Fontaine's Philosophy,
By
This review is from: Black Philosopher, White Academy: The Career of William Fontaine (Hardcover)
Kuklick is not pushing the story of a heroic, iconic individual--Fontaine is not cast as a symbol of racial improvement.
Instead he's telling the story of an individual whose career in academia was unlikely, rare for its time, and was, in fact, a mentor to Kuklick at the University of Pennsylvania. Fontaine's scholarly contributions, and his broader importance are both discussed. Race in higher education is a subject that will not go away any time soon, and this book certainly pushes the discussion forward. |
