Preferred term

black studies names controversy  

Definition

  • Black Studies, as it emerged on university and college campuses across the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s, was fundamentally the product of the many sacrifices of countless black students. Much of the early philosophical confusion surrounding the field was reflected in the lack of clarity the students found in the naming process itself, thus Black Studies is referred to by a thicket of names. [Source: Encyclopedia of Black Studies; Black Studies, Names Controversy]
