Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page report discusses the parallels between the origins and evolution of Black politics and the Enlightenment's project of modernity. The shift from 'modernity' to 'post-modernity' has been duplicated in the process that resulted in the development of modern politics for the African American community in the United States. Parallels between the emergence of Black politics in the U.S. and the entire process of 'modern' thinking actually can be compared to the development of the 'Enlightenment' of earlier centuries and its focus on 'modernity.'

To propose what Meiksins-Wood (1996) refers to as a "periodization of epochal shifts" is to say something about what is essential in defining a social form such as capitalism.
Epochal shifts have to do with basic transformations in some essential constitutive element of the system. In fact, such a shift is of such a monumental level that it changes
