Contemporary Black Thought: Alternative Analyses in Social and Behavioral Science

Edited by Molefi Kete Asante and Abdulai S. Vandi | Sage (1980)

Summary

This volume presents a collection of essays grounded in a uniquely Black understanding of the social sciences -- the disciplines of communication, psychology, sociology and social problems, history, political science and education are examined. Together they help to counteract the prevalent and erroneous model of world development that depicts Europe as teacher and the African world as pupil.
