For many students en masse, their exposure to the “African American Experience” is limited to the pedestrian, brief and routine mentions of Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks and Dr. Martin Luther King primarily during the month of February.
Introduction to African American Studies: A Critical Reader introduces or invokes new concepts and ideas surrounding the African American experience more so than introduce additional names and dates with which the reader may not be readily familiar.
While not an exceedingly exhaustive encyclopedia or a tenaciously technical textbook, it is a critical reader providing an introduction to important concepts and ideas that shape and frame the African American experience.

- five critical concepts – names of individuals, movements or places that embody and frame the larger framework of the module.
- three critical quests that encourage readers to explore the chapter ideas in more detail.
- two critical questions that examine the reader’s comprehension of ideas presented.
