| Abstract | "Jim Crow Sociology: The Black and Southern Roots of American Sociology is an extraordinary contribution to the discipline that examines the origin, development and significance of Black Sociology through the accomplishments of early African American sociologists at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) Atlanta University, Tuskegee Institute, Fisk University and Howard University. Black Sociology is a concept that weaponizes the discipline for that which is "right and good" and prioritizes scholar activist inspired research directed at impacting real world condition of African Americans. Guided by this idea, this book debunks the idea that the sociology of early African Americans, with the exception of W. E. B. Du Bois, does not exemplify scholarly excellence. Jim Crow Sociology forces contemporary scholars to ask why early African American sociologists and HBCUs are not canonized. What makes this book most consequential is that it provides evidence supporting the proposition that sociology began in earnest in the United States as a Black and southern enterprise"-- Provided by publisher. |
