Summary |
A peerless reference guide to the history of Black Studies from one of the discipline's founders |
|
Offers a comprehensive guide to the history of Black Studies from one of the discipline's founders. Structured in three broadly chronological sections, the book demonstrates how Black people themselves established the field long before its institutionalization in university programs. At its heart, Black Studies is profoundly political. Black Power, the New Communist Movement, the Black women's and students' movements - each step in the journey for Black liberation influenced and was influenced by this revolutionary discipline. --From publisher description |
