An index listing authors, joint authors, and editors rounds out this resource guide.

Reviews

Historian Davis and journalist Hill have provided an excellent guide to "the formal or structured discipline of Black studies in an academic setting." The bibliography contains more than 700 items. Coverage ranges from kindergarten to university and adult education, and includes both historically black and historically white institutions, and contemporary as well as 19th-century materials. Books, pamphlets, dissertations, and journal articles are included...this unique guide will prove useful in most general reference settings.-CHOICE
