Alain Locke: Personality and the problematic of pragmatism in the construction of race

Article Abstract:

Alain Locke established his pragmatic credential through his specific use of race as a form of social solidarity, that is, as an expression of group solidarity, race served to articulate as well as shape the political and cultural needs of African Americans. He linked the emotional and cognitive energy of race with that of personality and in doing so formed a strand of pragmatic though that differed importantly from the mainstream of the movement but one which valued emotion as much as reason.
