Description
Reviews
Google Preview: This groundbreaking volume establishes new perspectives on black history - its scholarship and pedagogy, scholars and interpreters, and evolution as a profession. Pero Gaglo Dagbovie discusses a wide range of issues and themes for understanding and analyzing African American history, the twentieth century black historical enterprise, and the teaching of African American history for the twenty-first century. Additional topics include the hip-hop generation's relationship to and interpretations of African American history; past, present, and future approaches to the subject; and, the social construct of knowledge in African American historiography. An exclamation of definitions of black history from W. E. B. Du Bois' ''The Souls of Black Folk'' and a survey of early black women historians lend further dimension and authenticity to the volume. A bold contribution to the growing fields of African American historiography and the philosophy of black history, ''African American History Reconsidered'' offers numerous analytical frameworks for understanding and delving into a variety of dimensions of the African American historical experience.; ''African American History Reconsidered will spark debate on the issues that contemporary historians must address to foster continuing advancement of the field. This book could define the contours of African American history for the foreseeable future.'' James B. Stewart, author of African Americans and the U.S. Economy ''A superb study: the first major treatise on African American historiography in the past two decades. Dagbovie's work fills a gap in historiography and contributes immensely to historical studies.'' Derrick P. Alridge, author of The Educational Thought of W. E. B. Du Bois: An Intellectual History; Google Preview content
