Book Review Essay: A Note on Nathan Huggins' Report to the Ford Foundation on African-American Studies.

Asante, Molefi K.

Journal of Black Studies, v17 n2 p255-62 Dec 1986

Huggins' report lacks serious data collection on college Black Studies Departments, omits the strongest ones, fails to record their history accurately, and does not assess the research achievements of its scholars. Huggins overlooks the importance of applying an Afro-centric perspective to phenomena related to people of African descent. (PS)
