Compiled in this volume is the most significant accumulation of
works on the subject of African American leadership to date. As the
field of leadership studies continues to grow, this timely work
contributes to an understanding of the activities of those people
and organizations that have been leaders of people of African
descent and have contributed to the cultural and political affairs
of the black community, as well as the representation of the black
community in mainstream American life. The annotated entries cover
a variety of works on subjects such as dedicated black leadership
studies, local descriptions and analyses, biographies, leadership
organizations, and audio-visual materials. This reference is an
important contribution to the field of leadership studies in
general, and African American leadership in particular, and will
serve as a valuable research tool for educators and practitioners
alike.
The entries are organized into six sections, which offer a broad
overview of the various aspects of African American leadership.
Part I, Critical Studies and Appraisals, focuses on the history of
works dedicated to both national and local leaders and their
politically relevant activities. The next section, Local Leadership
Studies, is organized around black leaders who served local
communities and the various issues they addressed. Part III looks
at relevant social movements and ideologies that have highlighted
the activities of black leaders. Individual leaders who have made
contributions to the political life of the black community are
included in Part IV, while leadership organizations are highlighted
in Part V. The concluding section of the volume looks at available
audio-visual materials. A thorough index rounds out the
bibliography.
