Making the Black Atlantic

This Continuum series offers students, scholars, and general readers essential texts which focus on the international black experience. The broad scope of the series is innovative and ambitious, treating literary, historical, biographical, musical, and visual arts subjects from an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective. The series books are selected to address current debates on what constitutes the Black Atlantic, both geographically and theoretically. They include anthologized primary material and collections of seminal critical value to courses on the African diaspora and related subjects.
