Abstract "This book makes the case for the concretization of a subdiscipline of Black Epistemology within Black and Africana Philosophy. As the first book-length consideration of various Black thinkers, specifically as Black epistemologists, this volume critically engages self-epistemologies and political epistemologies offered from a Black philosophical perspective"-- Provided by publisher.
