| Without a doubt, Oliver Cromwell Cox stands as an important black intellectual and social theorist for the twentieth century. It is regrettable that, after all these years (Cox died in 1974), he has not received the studied attention to his ideas and works that he so richly deserves. Christopher A. McAuley's book is the first to delve deeply into Cox's thinking. While it is certainly not definitive, it is an excellent start. It is to be hoped that we will see more examinations of a black thinker who was, as McAuley states, a true "pan-African-American." |
