Africana Cultures and Policy Studies: Scholarship and the Transformation of Public Policy introduces Africana cultures and policy studies as an interdisciplinary field of study, rooted in the historical experience of people of African descent. Intentionally, the essays in this volume seek to canonize Africana historical studies for the purposes of policy development, analysis, and practical application. Africana Cultures and Policy Studies calls for a relocation and synthesis of policy-derived research emanating from public and private culture spheres. In the process, our goal is to use history and culture to engage the policy process from a top-down and bottom-up approach, thereby dissolving the previously impenetrable divide existing among academics and policymakers, community constituencies and related social/civic institutions.
