BLACK STUDIES AND THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF AMERIC...

This book aims to expand what scholars know and who is included in this discussion about black
studies  which aids in the democratization of American higher education and the deconstruction
of traditional disciplines of high education  to facilitate a sense of social justice. By
challenging traditional disciplines  black studies reveals not only the political role of
American universities but also the political aspects of the disciplines that constitute their
core. While black studies is post-modern in its deconstruction of positivism and universalism 
it does not support a radical rejection of all attempts to determine truth. Evolving from a
form of black cultural nationalism  it challenges the perceived white cultural nationalist norm
and has become a critical multiculturalism that is more global and less gendered. Henry argues
for the inclusion of black studies beyond the curriculum of colleges and universities.
