Writing at The Crossroads: Black World Essays 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 the 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 three
sections 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 any one wishing to understand the
development of Black Studies, and Black Intellectual History.
