KENDALL HUNT PUBLISHING Africana Paradigms, Practices and Literary Texts: Evoking Social Justice

Many critical events occurred during the 20th & 21st centuries, but nothing more compelling than the global demonstrations among a diverse population, physically & spiritually demoralized by racial dominance, symbolized by “Till’s bloated face, the embodiment of the ugliness of American racism,” all in the amidst of a global occurrence― (Hudson-Weems, Emmett Till: The Sacrificial Lamb of the Civil Rights Movement 1994). Like today’s “Till Continuums,” this global pandemic affects the very fabric of every level of human existence. Thus, an interdisciplinary & intercultural focus, tailored for true social justice for all, is much needed, with a goal of transforming our world, guided by a genuine appreciation of True Cultural Diversity in not only color, but in thought & action as well! Africana Paradigms, Practices and Literary Texts: Evoking Social Justice , a comprehensive volume of critical ideas, trends & possible solutions, composed of an array of authentic thinkers, offering useful Africana theoretical concepts, tools of ysis, & activities, loudly answers to that call for improving our minds for a better worldview. We need workable ideas for eradicating racial dominance via debunking it, believing that our initiatives and efforts will inevitably lead toward the fruition of a long overdue racial healing for true racial harmony.
