Page ix Foreword As we embark upon the twenty-first century, W. E. B. DuBois's prophetic analysis of the color line seems ever more apparent and practical. He was addressing the dilemma of African diasporic people being dismissed, aborted, and placed on the margins of world history and, more importantly, Americana history. Equally important, regional and community studies are the ontological base in which one can begin to examine the historical and cultural experiences of blacks throughout the diaspora. Moreover, DuBois, like Carter. G. Woodson and Charles H. Wesley, to name a few, were African American historians, who consistently pointed to issues and schema of historiography, with emphasis on interpretative analysis, method, and theoretical application. Hence, their research was thorough, accurate, and preserved a legacy for an intellectual tradition of academic rigor and critical analysis. In contemporary times, scholars who study the African diasporic historical and cultural experiences, are challenged with the task to transform consciousness, transcend scholarly rigor, while simultaneously seeking to provide an alternative epistemological framework to query, describe, and evaluate Africana phenomena.
