17. I am deliberately thinking from black philosophers rooted in the memories of African slavery and diaspora thereafter - not only W. E. B Dubois and Frantz Fanon but also their current interpreters. See Lewis R. Gordon, Fanon and the Crisis of the European Man: An Essay on Philosophy and the Human Sciences (London: Routledge, 2000)

I am deliberately not thinking (although my unconscious may be) from white philosophers rooted in Greece and Rome. And I am deliberately not touching on the complex question of the role of Jerusalem in Western history.
