African America can be found throughout North America. The essays included in this volume take the creation of an African American world as a single object of study, tracing significant routes and contacts, using comparisons and contrasts. This book reworks traditional approaches to the study of history, critiques of literature and culture, and the production of knowledge. Each essay locates the African American experience within a wider pan-African vision that links the colonial with the postcolonial, the past with the present, and the African with the Western. Mapping African America sketches lines that extend our knowledge of the African influence on and participation in what is generally called "Western'' culture. This creative challenge to traditional disciplines will not only enhance the reader's understanding of African American studies, but will also help forge links with other academic fields of inquiry.
