The aim and objective of this book is to examine four associated topics: (1) global Pan Africanism; (2) the intellectual ideas of Dr. W.E.B. Du Bois; (3) the cultural and economic ideas of Marcus Garvey; and (4) a critical assessment of Africana historiography. Centered within each chapter, contributors have provided an interdisciplinary analysis of issues and schema that address Africana phenomena from a social service lens. Likewise, the objective for coordinating this work makes an ongoing advance and contribution to the forward flow of research and data in the field of Africana studies. Additionally, the assembly of essays in this volume aspires to offer an alternative analysis to examining the perplexities and dispatches regarding the construct of institutional and individual systematic subordination on an international level.
