"From 1900 to the present, people of African descent living in the United States have drawn on homegrown and diasporic minds to create a Black intellectual tradition engaged with ideas on race, racial oppression, and the world. This volume presents essays on the diverse thought behind the fight for racial justice as developed by African American artists and intellectuals; performers and protest activists; institutions and organizations; and educators and religious leaders. By including both women's and men's perspectives from the U.S. and the Diaspora, the essays explore the full landscape of the Black intellectual tradition. Throughout, contributors engage with important ideas ranging from the consideration of gender within the tradition, to intellectual products generated outside the intelligentsia, to the ongoing relationship between thought and concrete effort in the quest for liberation"-- Part I – Scholarship and Education 1. African American Intellectual History: The Past as a Porthole into the Present and Future of the Field — Pero Gaglo Dagbovie 2. Afrocentricity and Autobiography: Historiographical Interventions Into Black Intellectual Traditions — Aaron David Gresson Part II – Arts and Letters 3. Singing is Swinging: The Soul Force of Twentieth‑Century Black Protest Music — Jeffrey Lamar Coleman 4. The Post–Civil Rights Era and the Rise of Contemporary Novels of Slavery — Venetria K.
