Methodologies in African-American Historical Research: The Model and the Evolving Paradig.

Kinshasa, Kwando M.

Western Journal of Black Studies, v11 n4 p185-92 1987

Historical research has more to do with the present than with the past, as methodological constructs tend to be influenced by the contemporary needs of society. The practice and significance of historical research is determined by the researcher, his or her audience, and the political situation. (BJV)
