The End of Black Studies

Conceptual, Theoretical, and Empirical Concerns

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines the foundational parameters and historical mission of the field of African-American Studies, which emerged from a broad-based Black intellectual tradition defined by the metaproblem of cultural hegemony, broadening our thinking about the field and identifying Afrocentric or Black-centered approaches to knowledge production that are distinctly different from, yet inclusive of, a historiographical emphasis on ancient Egypt, but alternative to the claim of a singular African worldview. The End of Black Studies has received the 2017 Outstanding Book Award from the National Council for Black Studies.
