This edition of the serial, Africana Studies: A Review of Social Science Research, focuses on the theme of Racial Structure and Radical Politics in Contemporary Africa. Racial structures can be referred to as, the study of Africana communities and their formation globally. Likewise, the representation of radical politics advances itself to describe and evaluate the process of obtaining, affirming, and exercising sovereignty from an alternative aspect. The essays aggregated in this volume, aspire to query, precipitate analysis, and offer a contribution to the forward flow of knowledge, as it pertains to social scientific approaches to describing and evaluating Africana phenomena.

Equally important, with a national election, to take place within months, U.S. citizens begin to exhibit an aesthetic of perplexity, concerning what drives interest, incentives, and structural approaches to outlining the culture of politics. Indeed, this posture has a direct and indirect emphasis on African Americans. Certainly, issues and schema of race, gender, class, are comparative variables, which render investigation to this dialogue. Additionally, this volume, seeks to probe the themes of: agency, community studies, social stratification, identity privilege, and market cultural enterprises of consumerism. Finally, this interdisciplinary approach provides readers with an alternative analysis of describing and evaluating Racial Structure and Radical Politics.

Beth Johnson

On January 3, 1921, The Broad Ax, a local black newspaper in Chicago, announced the opening of the Binga State Bank located at 3452 South State Street (since demolished). Jesse Binga (1865-1950) selected this location as the corner around which Negro business would revolve. Until its closing in 1930, the bank and Bingas involvement in the neighborhood helped the African-American community prosper economically and socially.

Prior to the establishment of the Black Metropolis, there was no single cohesive African-American community. Blacks were scattered throughout the city located in close proximity to their places of employment. Between 1850 and 1870 new technology aided growing industries; African Americans came to Chicago to take advantage of the benefits of manufacturing jobs within growing industries and make a better life. By 1870, the largest concentration of African Americans was located between 12th Street and 39th Street. The western border was defined by industrial properties and railroads; the eastern boundary was defined by affluent white neighborhoods. The Black Belt contained the highest concentration of African American people in Chicago developing into an independent commercial and social strip. By 1900 the Black Metropolis was well established as a city within the city, a community that satisfied its own demand for goods and services.

Bronzeville initially began to flourish with the creation of the first Binga Bank, a privately held black bank founded in 1908. The bank, located at 3633 S. State Street, was instrumental in the establishment and growth of businesses, entertainment and housing opportunities for blacks.

Jesse Binga, the man behind the bank, was born in Detroit in 1865. His parents were extremely influential introducing a strong work ethic to him and his seven siblings at an early age. He received a high school education and studied law for two years. In addition to his formal education his parents stressed the importance of obtaining diversity in vocational skills. He worked in his fathers barbershop and helped his mother with her real estate concerns.
