    The Powers of Dignity: The Black Political Philosophy of Frederick Douglass.Nick Bromell - 2021 - Duke University Press.
    In _The Powers of Dignity_ Nick Bromell unpacks Frederick Douglass's 1867 claim that he had “elaborated a political philosophy” from his own “slave experience.” Bromell shows that Douglass devised his philosophy because he found that antebellum Americans' liberal-republican understanding of democracy did not provide a sufficient principled basis on which to fight anti-Black racism. To remedy this deficiency, Douglass deployed insights from his distinctively Black experience and developed a _Black_ philosophy of democracy. He began by contesting the founders' racist assumptions (...)

    Democratic Indignation.Nick Bromell - 2013 - Political Theory 41 (2):285-311.
    This essay argues that black Americans writing from outside or at the margins of the democratic polity shed important light on the nature of human dignity and on the political emotion that offers—to oneself and to others—the surest proof of the existence of such dignity: indignation. I focus in particular on four insights of this body of black American political thought: that the presumption of dignity is the basis on which citizenship is conferred, while its denial is the justification by (...)

    “That Third and Darker Thought”: African-American Challenges to the Political Theories of Jacques Rancière and Axel Honneth.Nick Bromell - 2019 - Critical Philosophy of Race 7 (2):261-288.
    This article explores several challenges African-American political thinkers pose to the continental tradition of European political philosophy as represented by two eminent theorists, Jacques Rancière and Axel Honneth. It focuses on the three sharpest points of disagreement between them—over the nature of the political subject and her motivations for becoming political; the need for normative grounds as a basis of political critique; the quality of political temporality—and shows how a range of African-American political thinkers have developed rigorous accounts of all (...)
