This book contains a collection of articles written by Africana Studies scholars: Kaila Story, De Reef Jamison, Karanja Carrol, Dawn Elissa Fischer, Serie Mc Dougal, Justin Gammage, Marquita Gammage, and Michael Tillotson. Kaila Story examines the dire consequences of young Feminists of color engaging with and adopting a framework that has been repackaged for their racial and class complacency. De Reef Jamison looks at the contributions of African-centered psychologist Bobby Wright through the lens of critical race consciousness, mainstream psychological theory and mentacide. Karanja Carrol examines the work of Cheikh Anta Diops “Two Cradle Theory” as an explanatory basis for the differences in worldview between African and European peoples. Dawn Elissa Fischer explores the wide vistas of the pioneering work of Black and/or Africana-identified anthropologists and how their work relates to the founding philosophies of Black/Africana Studies. Serie Mc Dougal investigates the enduring role and function of theories and paradigms in human inquiry and their specific functions in the discipline of Africana Studies. Justin Gammage interrogates and assesses the economic state of the African American community in Philadelphia and brings forth a solution set for practical application. Marquita Gammage addresses the criticality of illuminating how women of African descent perceive the images of themselves in popular rap music. Michael Tillotson explores the critical necessity of an egalitarian hermeneutic to investigate the lived realities of people of African descent.
