xx, 138 pages : 22 cm, Drawing on the philosopher's writings as well as the recollections of several people who knew him, Cain (education, State U. of New York) examines Locke's philosophy of cultural pluralism and the impact of his grounding in philosophy as he became immersed in the adult education movement of the 1920s to the 1940s. The study looks at how Locke expected others to use his aesthetic, literary, and anthropological theories as instruments for social and political transformation, and discusses the links and contrasts between Locke's thinking and the work of Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois. Seven b&w photos follow the text.
