In 32 articles, leading scholars examine what the editors call the "socially engaged field" of Black studies. They examine the evolution of consciousness, feminist resistance, and the representation of Black men, as well as the conceptualization of culture and ideology. They also examine Black sexuality, education and religion by analyzing autonomy, subjectivity, the pedagogy and practice of education, and the role of faith in Black life. A selected bibliography is included. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
