DOWNLOAD EBOOKThere is a "mind war" against African consciousness. People of African descent are thevictims of a silent psychological onslaught that instils a feeling of guilt within for standing up forthe social interests and causes of the Black community. African people have to love their ownmore than they fear being called racist. Furthermore Black people often feel that they mustvalidate their concerns and involvements with Black causes by confirming their affiliation andassociation with multiple other ethnic groups. The Black community requires courage if we areto collectively solve our problems as a unit. Kwame Ture said "Black people need not beapologetic or defensive about controlling their communities... We have seen that this is theone sure way to end racism." This book is dedicated towards undoing much of thepsychological damage done to our people.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFollowing a history of racial oppression and segregation, Black Americans were able to move in greater numbers into previously all- or predominantly-White colleges and universities. However, they encountered normative structures that excluded or distorted the Black experience and denied Black perspectives. As a result, Black studies grew up reconstructing the humanity of a historically oppressed, devalued, and exploited group. Knowledge production in Black studies offers distinct insights into the strength and resiliency of the human spirit and poses exemplary models for enlightened social change. This book examines the foundational parameters and historical mission of the field of African-American Studies, which emerged from a broad-based Black intellectual tradition defined by the metaproblem of cultural hegemony. Semmes seeks to broaden our thinking about the scope and content of Black studies. The End of Black Studies identifies Afrocentric or Black-centered approaches to knowledge production that are distinctly different from, yet inclusive of, a historiographical emphasis on ancient Egypt, but alternative to the claim of a singular African worldview. This book will appeal to students and scholars interested in the field of Black Studies, including African American studies, Africana studies, Africology, and Pan-African studies. It will be a source of critical discussion for graduate seminars examining theory building and/or knowledge production (research and writing) in Black studies. The End of Black Studies has received the 2017 Outstanding Book Award from the National Council for Black Studies. Read the Introduction for free online using our eBook widget ”
