Following a history of racial oppression and segregation, Black
Americans were able to move in greater numbers into previously all-
or predominantly-White colleges and universities. However, they
encountered normative structures that excluded or distorted the
Black experience and denied Black perspectives. As a result, Black
studies grew up reconstructing the humanity of a historically
oppressed, devalued, and exploited group. Knowledge production in
Black studies offers distinct insights into the strength and
resiliency of the human spirit and poses exemplary models for
enlightened social change. 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. Semmes
seeks to broaden our thinking about the scope and content of Black
studies. The End of Black Studies identifies 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. This book will appeal to students and
scholars interested in the field of Black Studies, including
African American studies, Africana studies, Africology, and
Pan-African studies. It will be a source of critical discussion for
graduate seminars examining theory building and/or knowledge
production (research and writing) in Black studies. The End of
Black Studies has received the 2017 Outstanding Book Award from the
National Council for Black Studies. Read the Introduction for free
