Summary Meier and Rudwick show how black history, originally a Jim Crow specialty ignored by nearly the entire historical profession, has evolved into one of the liveliest and most active areas of study. A remarkable self-examination of the authors' own profession, this volume blends research in primary and secondary sources with extensive interviews of nearly 200 scholars--including the most highly respected names in the field.
Bibliography, etc. Note Includes bibliographical references (pages 317-363) and index.
