Critically engage a work of secondary literature (peer-reviewed journal article) by a living author who engages themes from our course. Find a text that is not on the syllabus. Concisely present the main points of the article, and then agree with, disagree with, or qualify the author\u2019s argument. Your paper should include a strong thesis, one that is more robust than simply \u201cthis other person is wrong\/right about X\u201d (though, depending on the (dis)agreement, such a thesis <\/span><\/span>may<\/em> <\/span>be sufficient). Basically, your paper should use another\u2019s work as a foil to make your own relatively unique claim about an Africana Philosophical theme. You goal is to \u201center the conversation\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
