The Kora: A Contextual Reclamation of the African Perspective is a collection of readings curated to facilitate a dynamic interest in African American studies and African American history. The anthology emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of the discipline, impressing upon readers that the discipline of African American studies is fluid, portable, and practical. The text begins with a reading that provides readers with a contextual foundation in African American history. Additional units address Black religion and institutions, sociology and psychology, economics, creative production, and education. Individual articles explore traditional belief systems, the social construction of race, themes in African American literature, the experiences of African American studies in public elementary schools, and more. Each unit ends with critical reflection, which can serve as guideposts for in-person or virtual discussions or as writing prompts for personal reflections on the subject matter. Providing students with practical examples of Afrocentric approaches to Afrocentric research, The Kora is an excellent supplementary resource for courses in African American studies.
