Theology of James Cone
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing Cone's views on how the black community can reconcile its relation to the God of the universe. Cone mellowed over the years, but he was rather militant in his views in his first published work in the late 1960s. The black community can be compared to the Hebrews wandering in the desert - ostracized and homeless, yet with God's complete care and guidance - but the ultimate battle between good and evil was won with Jesus' death. People are called to "run the race;" Cone believes that black people are called not to deny their heritage. Liberation is found in Jesus. The verdict has been read; we are called to "run the race" until sentence is imposed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Black Man (1998) by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
[ send me this essay ]
(5 pp) Although these biographies have been reviewed as a collection of profiles, the author addresses his own work as "narratives of ascent." The basic question asked is what makes us who we are; how does self-definition figure in the mix? These black men are well past the "what do you wanna be when you grow up phase," and are verbally painted for us by Gates, as msters of their own identities.

Tocqueville/His Views of Blacks
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page essay that offer analysis and discussion of Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America. In the chapter entitled, "The Present and Probable Future Condition of the Three Races that Inhabit the Territory of the United States," Tocqueville describes the relations between the three, "naturally distinct" races that inhabited the US at this time (Tocqueville). These were European-descended Americans, Native Americans and African Americans, the majority of whom were held in slavery. At this time in the early nineteenth century, Tocqueville accurately perceived the racial problems that would haunt the country. Tocqueville saw no satisfactory solution to the questions of slavery, abolition and racial coexistence. Examination of Tocqueville's predictions regarding slavery shows them to be quite accurate in many ways. No additional sources cited.
