In many of his writings he focused and addressed the racial and sociopolitical phenomena of African Americans. He also addressed religion and philosophy.
He created the most effective role for the black intellectual as a “critical, organic catalyst” in what he calls the “insurgency model.” In this model the individuals would challenge the status quo, voicing opposition to an inherently racist civil authority. The rebellion would then lead to the creation in the long term of a “post-(not anti-) Western civilization” and the revitalization in the short term of institutions that create critical thought and serve the cause of black insurgency.
His early participation in civil rights activism shaped his progressive international perspective.
