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.
