Bogues examines black thinkers from the 18th to the 20th centuries, dividing them into two distinct but related traditions, the 'heretics' who used the tools of Western scholarship to condemn racism and exclusion, and the 'prophets' who proclaimed the possibility of redemption in this world. I would rate this as perhaps the most important book about black political thought in the Western world yet written.
