 Mills and Shelby are particularly noteworthy in this connection. Until their early work earned the attention it now enjoys around the world and across academic disciplines, it was easier to worry that analytic approaches to Africana thought did relatively little with the transformative potential that Africanaity brings to professional philosophy (see Taylor 2009, Gordon 2006). But both have recently called explicitly for “black radical” approaches to standard political-theoretic positions like egalitarianism and liberalism (Mills 2017, Shelby 2016). And both have backed up this call by reinventing core theoretical resources from one tradition in light of the other. For example, Mills (1997) reworks the social contract tradition by examining it from the perspective of (a kind of) decolonial or black radicalism, while Shelby (2005) uses elements of Rawlsian contract theory to rework the black nationalism of figures like Crummell, Du Bois, and Karenga.
