The concept for the encyclopedia was developed from the successful \u003cem\u003eJournal of Black Studies\u003c\/em\u003e (SAGE) and contains a full analysis of the economic, political, sociological, historical, literary, and philosophical issues related to Americans of African descent.

Beginning with the protests at San Francisco State College in 1967 that led to the first degree-granting department of Black Studies, the field′s rapid growth over time necessitates an authoritative account of the discipline. More than ever scholars and students need a clear conception of what the evolutionary processes have been in the creation and maintenance of the discipline. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChronology of Important Events in Black Studies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e1966 Merritt College Black Studies Courses\u003cbr\u003e1967 San Francisco State University Protests\u003cbr\u003e1968 San Francisco State University Black Studies Program Established\u003cbr\u003e1969 Cornell University students seize student center to protest harassment of African American Students\u003cbr\u003e1970 University of California, Los Angeles opens Center for Afro American Studies\u003cbr\u003e1969  Robert Singleton and Molefi Asante creates Journal of Black Studies\u003cbr\u003e1972 National Black Political Convention of Gary, Indiana\u003cbr\u003e1974 National Council of Black Studies founded\u003cbr\u003e1982 Maulana Karenga′s Introduction to Black Studies published\u003cbr\u003e1983 Mae Jemison who received majored in Black Studies and engineering is made the first African American female astronaut.\u003cbr\u003e1986  Cheikh Anta Diop makes his transition\u003cbr\u003e1988 Temple University approves  doctoral program in African American Studies created by Molefi Kete Asante\u003cbr\u003e1988 Toni Morrison wins Pulitzer Prize for Beloved\u003cbr\u003e1990 Adeniyi Coker receives first Ph.D. in African American Studies\u003cbr\u003e1992 Harvard University seeks \"Dream Team\" in African American Studies\u003cbr\u003e1995 More than a million black men march in Washington, DC\u003cbr\u003e1997 Phile Chionesu and Barbara Smith bring one million women to Philadelphia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore than 240 signed articles by nearly 200 scholars, organized A to Z, with coverage spanning the social sciences \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdited by the founder and current editor of the \u003cem\u003eJournal of Black Studies\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReader′s Guide facilitates browsing by topic and easy access to information \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains numerous illustrative charts, sidebars, and historical photographs \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAppendices with listings of doctoral granting programs, major journals in the field, and professional and scholarly associations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaster Bibliography\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Themes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e• Afrocentricity \u003cbr\u003e• Annual Conferences \u003cbr\u003e• Anti-Racism \u003cbr\u003e• Arts \u003cbr\u003e• Associations and Organizations \u003cbr\u003e• Books \u003cbr\u003e• Campus Politics \u003cbr\u003e• Civil Rights \u003cbr\u003e• Classical Africa \u003cbr\u003e• Concepts \u003cbr\u003e• Culture \u003cbr\u003e• Departmental Histories \u003cbr\u003e• Films \u003cbr\u003e• Institutions\u003cbr\u003e• Intellectual Schools \u003cbr\u003e• Journals \u003cbr\u003e• Legal Issues \u003cbr\u003e• Movements \u003cbr\u003e• Newspapers \u003cbr\u003e• Political Issues \u003cbr\u003e• Professional Organizations \u003cbr\u003e• Publishers \u003cbr\u003e• Racism \u003cbr\u003e• Religion \u003cbr\u003e• Reparations \u003cbr\u003e• Research Centers \u003cbr\u003e• Resistance \u003cbr\u003e• Theories \u003cbr\u003e• United States Constitution \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEditorial Board\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eDr. Troy Allen, \u003cem\u003eSouthern University \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDr. S.B.
