Produktbeschreibung
In recent years African American history has been a major growth area in respect to scholarly research, courses taught at both undergraduate and school level and wider general interest The only existing full length study available that provides clear, concise historiographical perspective on the enormous volume of scholarly work available on this subject Right up to date taking account of publications as recent as January/February 2005 A specific section deals with African Americans and popular culture, a subject which has also seen a massive expansion in terms of both academic and general interest in recent years
Here is the first full-length study to examine the changing academic debate on developments in African American history from the 1890s to the present. It provides a critical historiographical review of the most current thinking and explains how and why research and discourse have evolved in the ways that they have. Individual chapters focus on particular periods in African American history from the spread of racial segregation in the 1890s through to the postwar Civil Rights Movement and the Black Power Movement of the sixties and seventies.
