Queries and Discussions
African and Africana Philosophers in Conversation (A Series by Journal on African Philosophy)
The peer-reviewed Journal on African Philosophy (JAP) has published Issue 16. It is the second issue of the new series in JAP to highlight, engage, and celebrate African and Africana philosophers. One of the things this series does is to examine how foundational elements of African and Africana philosophy can serve as a tool to evaluate the changing times both at the personal and organizational level.

Naming of the Civil Rights Movement
Can anyone point me toward resources that identify when the first use or uses of the term Civil Rights Movement was employed by participants of the modern-day movement (in "real time," not after the fact)? The editor I'm studying who was active from the 1940s until 1975 used the words "fight," "battle," and "struggle," but never the full phrase "civil rights movement."
Thank you,

Master Thesis on 'The United States and Eurafrica Project' (1950-1960s)
Dear scholars,
As I'm currently just starting my master thesis on 'The United States and the Eurafrica Project' (1950-1960s), I'm looking for ideas about US perception of the project ( How was it documented in US publications for example ? Links/correspondences between African American intellectual and African intellectual). Thus, I was wondering if any of you would have useful recommendations for me. Thank you a lot and all the best,

Writing While White
Readers of H-Afro-Am may wish to know about Writing While White by Marianne Modica. The piece, the latest in H-Amstdy's series American Childhoods, looks at fiction written for young readers and the difficulties authors can experience in seeing past their own racial biases.
Scholarly Journals in Africology
I recently wrote “Scholarly Journals in Africology: An Introductory Descriptive Review” in Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies (vol.10, no.3, May 2017, www.jpanafrican.org), a descriptive review of fifty peer-reviewed journals from online content provided in relationship to Africology (i.e., African Diaspora Studies, African Studies, Africana Studies, African American Studies, Afro-American Studies, Black Studies, Pan African Studies, etc.) via their public affirmations of the journals reviewed.
