Black History Month 2017
Previously an unofficial holiday to celebrate and inform the public on important people of color, Black History Month became a staple of the American calendar in 1976 when the U.S. government made the event official. Palgrave honors this month-long holiday with a close look at scholarly work in and by Black scholars, researchers, and innovators, featuring:
- Free-to-read journals articles
- Books relating Black History to literature, politics, and more
- An Opinion Piece from the authors of A Formula for Eradicating Racism
Journals
Palgrave Journals presents a special issue on Psychoanalysis, African Americans and Inequality. These articles are a call back to 2014, questioning racial society post the re-election of President Barack Obama and noting the apparent disillusionment in realizing that a Black President a country of equality does not make. We hope you find these articles to be helpful and insightful. They are all free to read until March 1, 2017.
