Summary:

"Africana Studies: Beyond Race, Class, and Culture reflects a wide variety of topics regarding Africana Studies and addresses how Africana Studies are affected by a changing global "village." The readings contribute a critical study of African people from many different points of view, each important in their own right. Resulting from a collaborative effort at 39th Annual Conference of the New York African Studies Association (NYASA), selected readings in Africana Studies: Beyond Race, Class, and Culture were judged by: criticality, substance, pertinence, eclecticism, and transformative conceptualizations. Africana Studies: Beyond Race, Class, and Culture includes: Various points of view, from college administrators to social scientists to the general student population; Shows the evolution of Africana Studies from various backgrounds and terms; Questions the nature of Africana Studies in modern times amongst modern issues"-- [Provided by publisher]
