Popis: | “The Current State of Black Studies in the United States” presents the advances and the challenges of the discipline. The perspective of the essay is grounded in the tradition, established in 1915, with the founding of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, and considers the changes since its entry into mainstream academia in the late 1960s as a result of black student activism. The discussion considers recent research and theoretical paradigms, as well as institutional and societal impediments. |
