Introduces key terms, interdisciplinary research, debates, and
histories for African American Studies As the longest-standing
interdisciplinary field, African American Studies has laid the
foundation for critically analyzing issues of race, ethnicity, and
culture within the academy and beyond. This volume assembles the
keywords of this field for the first time, exploring not only the
history of those categories but their continued relevance in the
contemporary moment. Taking up a vast array of issues such as
slavery, colonialism, prison expansion, sexuality, gender,
feminism, war, and popular culture, Keywords for African American
Studies showcases the startling breadth that characterizes the
field. Featuring an august group of contributors across the social
sciences and the humanities, the keywords assembled within the
pages of this volume exemplify the depth and range of scholarly
inquiry into Black life in the United States. Connecting lineages
of Black knowledge production to contemporary considerations of
race, gender, class, and sexuality, Keywords for African American
Studies provides a model for how the scholarship of the field can
meet the challenges of our social world.
