Scope/Description:

Launched in the USA in 1969 The Black Scholar TBS is the first modern black studies and research journal. It was founded on the premise that black writers scholars activists and artists could participate in dialogue within its pages. TBS primary mission has been to chronicle analyze and debate the conditions of and the emancipatory efforts by black people against a multitude of oppressions that include and cross class nationality gender generation sexuality and ideology. Due in part to the impact of the journal Black Studies Africana Studies Diaspora Studies and other subdisciplines have become legitimate spaces of scholarly inquiry. However there are few public intellectual spaces that focus on black thought are dedicated to the new multiplicity of black perspectives or perspectives on race that have emerged through these disciplines and engage with the new issues and concerns facing black communities worldwide. The Black Scholar is one of those spaces. Also our rich mix of the scholarly and the artistic the professional and the publicnonspecialist remains rare as is our openness to different forms and techniques of political engagement.Building on the journals initial vision TBS aims to not only unite the academy and the street but also participate in a global black intellectual and cultural world that has multiple contexts and a range of materials and opinions far greater than when the journal was founded. The journal continues to engage and cultivate differential black political conversations and cultural interests African American African European Latin American for example while maintaining its core commitment to tough minded thinking and an overall liberationist intent. This means that we welcome submissions in English and in translation from anywhere in the world as long as they meet the criteria articulated on our website or in the journal.
