The introduction of 'Black' studies programs into institutions of
higher education was a direct response to the mandate for change at
all levels that characterized the civil rights movement and the
social rebellions of the 1950s and 1960s. In Out of the Revolution,
Delores P. Aldridge and Carlene Young collect thirty-one of the
nation's top scholars to provide a complete reference for
understanding the impetus for, the development of, and future
considerations for the discipline of 'Africana' studies. Topics
addressed include epistemological considerations; humanistic
perspectives; the role of bureaucracy and the academic institution;
the social, psychological, political, and economic dimensions; the
position of black women in the field; and how the discipline has
empowered the black student. This invaluable resource for educators
and students alike concludes with a look at graduates in Africana
studies and their careers and a discussion of the future of the
field.

This volume will fill the demand for a general introduction to the
archaeology of Jordan. It covers the full range of archaeology in
Jordan from the Palaeolithic through to the end of the Ottoman
period. The volume contains 15 chapters as chronological summaries
of these principal archaeological periods, as well as an
introductory chapter by the volume editor. The primary intent of
this volume, which is a shortened and updated version of The
Archaeology of Jordan published by Sheffield Academic Press in
2001, is to provide an introductory textbook for students of
archaeology in general and Levantine and Near Eastern Archaeology
in particular as well as a companion volume for interested amateurs
and tourists.
