February e-Book of the Month

A Companion to African-American Studies will be provided with free, unlimited access February 1-28.




In celebration of African-American History Month, NetLibrary has partnered with Blackwell Publishing to offer A Companion to African-American Studies as the February eBook of the Month. A groundbreaking re-appraisal of the history and future of African-American studies, the Companion includes original essays by expert scholars in the field and covers each topic with authority and clarity.

Edited by Lewis R. Gordon and Jane Anna Gordon, A Companion to African-American Studies is a definitive intervention at a critical time in the history of race relations and in the academic field of race and ethnic studies. Bringing together a dazzling array of established and emergent voices, the Companion opens with a series of reflections from those who waged pitched battles to establish African-American Studies as a bona fide academic discipline and captures the dynamic interaction of African-American Studies with other fields of inquiry.

Provided through the generous support of Blackwell Publishing, A Companion to African-American Studies will be available to Southwestern College Library patrons February 1-28. If you have already established a NetLibrary account through Southwestern College Library, visit www.netLibrary.com and log in.
