A Companion to African-American Studies

“An excellent … resource … edited with an excellent introduction by Lewis R. Gordon and Jane Anna Gordon, which includes articles by a wide range of scholars that document the development of black studies in the United States and outline the trajectories of the field in all its multi-genre richness.” (Year's Work in English Studies, November 2008)

“This compilation of essays is a much-needed addition to African-American scholarship. The breadth and range of this collection will make an excellent teaching tool for anyone leading courses in ethnicity, identity, and racial politics. We are in the editors’ debt for bringing together such excellent and important essays.”
