howard university in washington, d.c., where i encountered for the first time the luminaries by toni morrison or w. e. b. du boise among many others. here with an intellectual tradition i could plunge into deeply, read with pride and claim as a part of my own heritage, and i learned a great deal but i had a lot more to learn, so i enrolled at the university of chicago for graduate school and then in chicago i encountered a whole constellation of ideas and phrases that were entirely new to me. one of the ideas is the idea thathat it moves essentially ine direction and culminates into a democratic capitalist order on a scale. it was said whatever the problems of the political and economic system, it was superior to any and all alternatives. the class of the soviet union and america's punitive victory in the cold war seemed to confirm the thesis. it's how they were diminished to put it mildly. it involved the desire to tell the story of anti-colonial writers and activists for whom the end of history did not cloud their collective dream world. it didn't limit their horizon of expectation, so thes
