Description

The introduction of "Black" Studies into institutions of higher education was a direct response to the mandate for change at all levels that characterised the civil rights movement and the social rebellions of the 1950s and 1960s America. Out of the Revolution is a collection of writings from thirty-one of America's top academics, providing a complete reference for understanding the impetus for, the development of, and future considerations for the discipline of Africana Studies.
