Toward a Black Studies Paradigm: An Assessment and Some Directions.

Kershaw, Terry

Journal of Black Studies, v22 n4 p477-93 Jun 1992

A model for a proposed African-American studies discipline is based on the assumptions that African-American experiences are worth studying, historical experiences of peoples of African descent can inform others about human issues, and distinctive historic and cultural African-American experiences exist. Five steps in a African-American studies method are defined. (SLD)
