Abstract

This chapter presents a selection of the lectures that Professor Angela Davis gave in her “Recurring Philosophical Themes in Black Literature” course at the University of California, Los Angeles. These lectures are meant to highlight the less talked about parts of the history and enslavement of black people and to place that history in an illuminating philosophical context. Two lectures are presented in this chapter. The first explains one of the central pillars of oppression, how keeping an oppressed class ignorant and uneducated is a key way to keep them in a disadvantaged state, and uses the Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass to show certain philosophical themes. For the second lecture, Davis uses the Narrative once again to show the contradictory way slaveholders practiced Christianity and justified unfreedom through religious texts.
解放讲座
这一章是Angela Davis教授在加州大学洛杉矶分校的“黑人文学中反复出现的哲学主题”课程中所做讲座的选集。这些讲座旨在强调历史中较少被提及的部分以及黑人被奴役的历史,并将这段历史置于具有启发性的哲学背景中。本章有两个讲座。第一部分解释了压迫的核心支柱之一,即如何使被压迫阶级保持无知和未受教育是使他们处于不利地位的关键途径,并使用弗雷德里克·道格拉斯生平的叙述来展示某些哲学主题。在第二讲中,戴维斯再次使用叙事来展示奴隶主信奉基督教和通过宗教文本为不自由辩护的矛盾方式。
