I am a professor at the CUNY Graduate Center trying to reconcile my liking for pragmatism with the challenges of students and faculty of color. Concretely responding to "the Racial Contract" and "The Sexual Contract". in my text.

Dear Saegert,
I have two volumes on hand here. The first is, The Critical Pragmatism of Alain Locke (1999),edited by Leonard Harris. The volume is a collection of relatively recent essays on Locke. It includes a bibliography of writings by and about Locke.
See also, Rudolph Cain (1994) Alain Leroy Locke, Race Culture and the Education of African American Adults. This volume, a monograph devoted to Locke's thought, also contains a bibliography of works by and about Locke.
Locke was a well known figure in his times (1886-1954), often called the "Father of the Harlem Renaissance," and he was long-time Chair of Philosophy at Howard University.
I can provide further details if this would be helpful.

Hi Susan, Locke sounds like a very interesting figure in American Educational History. I found the following papers in relation to Locke. James
