Organized chronologically and thematically, \u003ci\u003eWhat is African American History?\u003c\/i\u003e offers a concise and compelling introduction to the field of African American history as well as the black historical enterpriseÑpast, present, and future. Pero Gaglo Dagbovie discusses many of the discipline’s important turning points, subspecialties, defining characteristics, debates, texts, and scholars. The author explores the growth and maturation of scholarship on African American history from late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries until the field achieved significant recognition from the ‘mainstream’ U.S. historical profession in the 1970s. Subsequent decades witnessed the emergence and development of key theoretical approaches, controversies, and dynamic areas of concentration in black history, the vibrant field of black women’s history, the intriguing relationship between African American history and Black Studies, and the imaginable future directions of African American history in the twenty-first century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat is African American History?\u003c\/i\u003e will be a practical introduction for all students of African American history and Black Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e1 What is a Social Movement? 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 The Study of Social Movements 26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 What is a Political Movement? 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 What is a Cultural Movement? 72\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 What Do Social Movements Do? 94\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Researching Social Movements 118\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Where are Social Movements Headed? 139\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 180\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20%5BHB%5D%22\"\u003eHB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407326277912,"sku":"9780745660813","price":15.65,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745660813.jpg?v=1784162187","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/what-is-african-american-history-paperback-softback-9780745660813","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
