The cultural and theoretical parameters of the Black Atlantic world are
explored and treated critically in this timely series. It offers students,
scholars and general readers essential texts which focus on the
international black experience. The broad scope of the series is innovative
and ambitious, treating literary, historical, biographical, musical and visual
arts subjects from an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective.
The books address current debates on what constitutes the Black Atlantic,
both geographically and theoretically. They include anthologized primary
material and collections of seminal critical value to courses on the African
diaspora and related subjects. They will also appeal more widely to a
readership interested in biographical and other material that presents
scholarship accessibly.
