What has art or, more exactly, beautiful art, to contribute to a politics that would break the color bar and dismantle racial hierarchy? In this essay, Robert Gooding-Williams explores W.E.B. Du Bois’s answer to this question, which he adumbrates through a series of publications extending from the 1910 appearance of “The Souls of White Folk” to the well-known “Criteria of Negro Art,” an essay that initially appeared in the October 1926 issue of The Crisis. The substance of his answer, Gooding-Williams proposes, is that beautiful art, by casting moral goodness in an unfamiliar light, can help to undermine racial oppression.
Robert Gooding-Williams is M. Moran Weston/Black Alumni Council Professor of African-American Studies and Professor of Philosophy and of African American and African Diaspora Studies, and Director of the Center for Race, Philosophy, and Social Justice at Columbia University.
