New Perspectives on the Black Intellectual Tradition

"This volume brings together exciting, cutting edge essays that showcase key intellectual trends and directions in African American history. These historians push beyond the boundaries of knowledge in dynamic and challenging ways." —Martha Biondi, author of The Black Revolution on Campus

"… New Perspectives makes an important contribution to the field of intellectual history. Adding African Americans into the larger narrative, using non-traditional sources, and expanding focus beyond well-known black men pushes readers to expand their ideas about the definition of intellectual history and the place of the black intellectual tradition within it … It could be used in either upper-level undergraduate or graduate classes about African American history or intellectual history." —Michael Blum, The Journal of African American History
