Black studies emerged from the tumultuous social and civil rights
movements of the 1960s and empowered African Americans to look at
themselves in new ways and pass on a dignified version of Black
history. However, it also enriched traditional disciplines in
profound and significant ways. Proponents of Black and ethnic
studies confronted the false notion that scholarly investigations
were objective and unbiased explorations of the range of human
knowledge, history, creativity, artistry, and scientific discovery.
As they protested against hegemonic notions like "universal"
psychology and re-evaluated canonical texts in literature, a new
model of academic inquiry evolved: one committed to serving a range
of populations, that critiqued traditional politics, culture, and
social affairs, and worked with activist energy for the
transformation of the existing social order.
With an all-star cast of contributors, "The Black Studies Reader"
takes on the history and future of this multi-faceted academic
field. Topics include Black feminism, cultural politics, Black
activism, lesbian and gay issues, African American literature and
film, education, and religion. This authoritative collection takes
a critical look at the current state of Black studies and
speculates on where it may go from here.
