Frederick Douglass and the early social psychology of racial oppression |
||||
Abstract
Frederick
Douglass brought an extraordinarily logical mind, breadth of historical
and social science knowledge, commitment to discovery and expression of
truth, and keen observation to analysis of race and gender relations
and scientific racism in the United States. Douglass's social psychology
of racism and liberation is more insightful and modern than that of his
American contemporaries, and not equaled until the middle of the 20th
century. Similarities between the major turn-of-the-century African
American sociologists and “students of sociology,” Anna Julia Cooper,
W.E.B. DuBois, Kelly Miller, Mary Church Terrell, and Ida B. Wells and
other evidence strongly suggests that Frederick Douglass had a strong
influence upon certain aspects of their thought, that Douglass may be
considered to be the anchor of the White racism emphasis in
Afro-American sociological thought. Based upon this analysis it is
recommended that Afro-Americanists take several steps to appropriately
review and evaluate Douglass's thought in planning research and
teaching.
