Infos

This volume seeks to identify the interconnection of theory, methodology, and praxis concerning social science studies of African Americans in communication, film, and media.

---

Africana Race and Communication: A Social Study of Film, Communication, and Social Media focuses on the areas of History, Ethos, Motif, and Mythology-Philosophy. This study is an interdisciplinary study, which surveys the collection, interpretation, and analysis of Black communication and culture. Likewise, the intellectual dexterity of Africana Studies as an interdisciplinary body of knowledge postures alternative ways of probing Africana phenomena. This volume provides a categorical lens matrix of Africana Studies to locate race and communication in place, space, and time. Thus, it provides readers with a compilation of literary, historical, philosophical, and communicative essays that attempt to describe and evaluate the Africana experience from a centered perspective.

Autor

James L. Conyers Jr. is director of the African American Studies Program, director of the Center for African American Culture, and university professor of African American studies at the University of Houston.
