Reflecting critically on the discipline of African American studies
is a complicated undertaking, and making sense of the black
American experience requires situating it within the larger
cultural, political-economic, and ideological dynamics that shape
American life. Renewing Black Intellectual History moves away from
privileging racial commonality as the fulcrum of inquiry and moves
toward observing the quality of the accounts scholars have rendered
of black American life.This book maps the changing conditions of
black political practice and experience from Emancipation to Obama
with excursions into the Jim Crow era, Black Power radicalism, and
the Reagan revolt. Here are essays, classic and new, that define
historically and conceptually discrete problems affecting black
Americans as these problems have been shaped by both politics and
scholarly fashion. A key goal of the book is to come to terms with
the changing terrain of American life in view of major Civil Rights
court decisions and legislation.
