The Black Scholar
The Black Scholar
The Black Scholar, one of the first academic journals of Black Studies, was created by Robert Chrisman and Nathan Hare in 1969 as an outlet for activist research on the black world. Dedicated to “uniting the academy and the street,” the publication’s pages have featured everyone from Angela Davis to Henry Louis Gates Jr., C.L.R. James to Wole Soyinka, Max Roach to Alice Walker. Special issues have hosted debates on Ebonics, reparations, affirmative action, multiculturalism, and the role of women in the Black Power movement. The FBI quietly purchased multiple subscriptions and kept a file on The Black Scholar from 1971 to 1976. Relaunched in 2012, the publication currently describes itself as “a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal providing cogent articles that help the understanding of issues of social concern to black Americans and other peoples of African descent across the world.”
