The Ashgate Research Companion to Black Sociology provides the most
up to date exploration and analysis of research focused on Blacks
in America. Beginning with an examination of the project of Black
Sociology, it offers studies of recent events, including the 'Stand
Your Ground' killing of Trayvon Martin, the impact of Hurricane
Katrina on emerging adults, and efforts to change voting
requirements that overwhelmingly affect Blacks, whilst engaging
with questions of sexuality and family life, incarceration, health,
educational outcomes and racial wage disparities. Inspired by
W.E.B. Du Bois's charge of engaging in objective research that has
a positive impact on society, and organised around the themes of
Social Inequities, Blacks and Education, Blacks and Health and
Future Directions, this timely volume brings together the latest
interdisciplinary research to offer a broad overview of the issues
currently faced by Blacks in United States. A timely, significant
research guide that informs readers on the social, economic and
physical condition of Blacks in America, and proposes directions
for important future research. The Ashgate Research Companion will
appeal to policy makers and scholars of Africana Studies,
Sociology, Cultural Studies, Anthropology and Politics, with
interests in questions of race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality,
social inequalities, health and education.
