While this in itself is not a remarkable fact, the role of Muslim immigrants in hastening that change warrants clear-eyed analysis. Coming to grips with Europe’s changing identity must involve taking seriously the anxieties of all stakeholders and addressing the implicit legitimate values driving the conversation. The experience of Muslims in Europe holds lessons for Muslims elsewhere in the world. Media portrayals of Muslims in Europe are overwhelmingly negative. Islam is often presented as a new religion that threatens European secular values. In the American context, stereotyping of Islam in the mass media has rendered the religion a convenient replacement for the Red Menace, which replaced the Yellow Peril. Both in America and in Europe, the fear is that Islam is an alien religion bent on fragmenting long-established identities. It is one of history’s best-kept secrets, not just that Moors ruled parts of Portugal and Spain for centuries, but the extent to which Islamic culture took root and flourished in Christian Europe. Latter-day attempts to ignore the positive contributions of Islam to European identity and to conceal this peaceful coexistence cannot be innocent. A balanced reading of history would acknowledge the mutual appropriations and cross-fertilization of East and West. It is important to unearth the anxieties that necessitate such denials. The development of Muslim culture in the Iberian peninsula and the willingness of Iberian residents to convert to Islam were necessary steps in making Europeans think of themselves as a people. 1 The Umayyad caliphate that collapsed in the eleventh century succeeded in making Spain a place of intellectual openness, scientific and philosophical learning. A full accounting of European identity must include the contributions of rationalist Muslim thinkers like Al-Kindi (812–873), Al-Farabi (870–950), Ibn Sina (Avicenna, 980–1037), Al-Ghazali (1058–1111), Ibn Rushd (Averroes, 1126–1198), and Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406). It is crucial in light of this history to put in context what is written in the newspapers or said on TV about the perceived everlasting incompatibility between Islam and democracy, Islam and gender equality, Islam and modernity, and relationships between Mus","PeriodicalId":42045,"journal":{"name":"Philosophia Africana","volume":"13 1","pages":"53-70"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2010-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.5840/PHILAFRICANA2010/20111321","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71063838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Duran","doi":"10.5840/PHILAFRICANA20101317","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5840/PHILAFRICANA20101317","url":null,"abstract":"23 Cornel West’s writings are being cited on a number of fronts, and it is not uncommon to hear his name mentioned in academic circles having to do with religion, Black Studies, philosophy, cultural studies, and a number of other pursuits. Most strikingly, perhaps, West is often taken to be one of the chief exponents of the “new pragmatism,” and along with Richard Rorty, he is frequently touted as one of the chief theoreticians of the contemporary version of this long-established American philosophical tradition.1 West’s work is striking for its general liberatory theme, its range, and the development of a number of lines of other sorts of theory that intersect, in his work, with pragmatism—Marxism, criticism of the arts, sexuality and gender studies issues, and so forth. Although there is no question that his work strikes a generally feminist-friendly tone (he has, for example, co-authored a work with Sylvia Ann Hewlett), parts of West’s work exhibit a number of the androcentric tendencies that contemporary feminist critics have often associated with other, more rigorously analytic work.2 In a recent work critical of West’s initial heavy reliance on Marxism as a liberatory strategy, and subsequent turn from it, the political scientist Mark David Wood argues that West’s most recent, less overtly theoretical work represents a failure to follow through on the promise of his original project. But one theme has remained comparatively consistent throughout West’s work: he relies on a number of overarching categories to concoct a large scheme, one that provides, if not Answers, at least a path toward such Answers. In this paper I will argue that the feminist reader can still discern a great deal of androcentrism in West’s work, although the net results for feminism may indeed be beneficial. I shall begin with an examination of his early work.

Johnson","doi":"10.5840/PHILAFRICANA200912110","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5840/PHILAFRICANA200912110","url":null,"abstract":"Many scholars, activists, and concerned educators have acknowledged that a socially just and equitable educational experience is the key to transforming lives and changing worlds. As noted by social justice scholars Maurianne Adams, Lee Anne Bell, and Pat Griffin, \"In an increasingly abrasive and polarized American society . . . social justice can play a constructive role in helping people develop a more sophisticated understanding of diversity and social group interaction, more critically evaluate oppressive social patterns and institutions, and work more democratically with diverse others to create just and inclusive practices and social structures,\" particularly in the area of education.' Teaching for social justice is teaching that not only examines the legacy of the interlocking structures of oppression, but teaching that recognizes the fundamental requisites of human liberty, and in turn it engages students in a pursuit to resist the barriers to their full humanity. Historical examinations of the pedagogical practices or the philosophical perspectives of social justice education are seldom studied. And the social justice ideas, writings, and intellectual discourses by past and present African-American educators who have utilized a social justice philosophical or pedagogical stance have been ignored or not taken up seriously in the dominant educational literature on social justice education. Anna Julia Cooper (1859.^-1964)^, one of the most influential educators, activists, and scholars of the late nineteenth and earlyto-mid twentieth centuries, developed sophisticated theoretical critiques of the race, gender, and class, ideologies underlying the U.S. and European oppression of blacks in this nation and in the black diaspora. Her writings and speeches reflected a social justice analysis in education and other sociological issues and cultural critiques that impacted the lives of African Americans. As an author and feminist. Cooper wrote A Voice from the South in 1892. This book, considered a black feminist treatise, consists of a collection of essays that reflects a black feminist analysis on racism and sexism. It focuses on the race problem in nineteenth-","PeriodicalId":42045,"journal":{"name":"Philosophia Africana","volume":"12 1","pages":"67-82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2009-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71063820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
