Signposts: Reading African World Culture is an interdisciplinary
collection of essays shaped by the forces that gave rise to the
Modern Black Studies Movement. The essays trace both the
development of the Black Studies Movement, and the evolution of one
of the discipline's important scholar-practitioners-Dr. Norman
Harris. The essays are introduced by a prologue that establishes a
framework consistent with way African people have traditionally
made sense of the world. From there, Harris uses Karenga's Nguzo
Saba to organize the essays into three sections. The first section
of essays is titled, "Kujichagulia and Literary Analysis;" the
second section is titled "Nia: From Theory to Practice;" and the
third section is titled "Imani: Situating 21st Century Learning."
Together, these essays chart a path from more or less traditional
academic scholarship to forms of scholarship, advocacy and
institution building that are the cornerstone of the Black Studies
Movement. This is an important book for anyone wishing to
understand the development of Africana Studies, and Black
Intellectual History.
