<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Known variously as African studies, black studies, African American studies, Afro-American studies, and Africology, the academic study of the African diaspora as a holistic discipline is a relatively new phenomenon. University programs have been created with reference to a disciplinary matrix, retarding the development of appropriate theory and methods throughout Africana studies. Fifteen leaders in the field of Africana studies provide the conceptual framework for establishing the field as a mature discipline. The focus is on four basic areas: administration and organizational structure; disciplinary matrix; Africana womanism; and cultural aesthetics. The work examines both the theory and the method of scholars in African and African-diaspora studies.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Explores the development of theory and methodology in establishing African and African-diaspora studies as an academic discipline...essential for Africana collections"--<i>American Libraries.</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>The late <b>James L.
