Africana Studies (Paperback)
Philosophical Perspectives and Theoretical Paradigms
Edited by Delores P. Aldridge and E. Lincoln James
The systematic study of the Africana/Black experience emerged in universities in the USA in the late 1960s. As an outgrowth of the Civil Rights and Black Conscious movements, demonstrations occurred on campuses nationwide, giving birth to the new academic discipline.
Written by emerging and established scholars and published in the
Western Journal of Black Studies
over a span of three decades beginning in 1977, the 27 essays included in
Africana Studies
provide an evolutionary trajectory of the discipline, including theoretical, ideological, and methodological perspectives and paradigms. The primary focus is the African American experience with empahsis on how the theoretical and methodological approaches have changed over time as the discipline matured.
