John Henrik Clarke Bibliography

A book on the life, accomplishments and teachings of Dr. John Henrik Clarke, a noted scholar, educator, author and lecturer, attributed by many to be the father of African and African Studies in the US school systems. He is widely known as a man who dedicated his life to discovering and spreading the truth of African history and its promise for its people's future.

Essays by 13 of the most influential black thinkers who had an impact on Africana Studies during the 20th century. These essays reflect wisdom, wit, joy, and frustration as they speak candidly on issues of education, relationships, the origin of civilization, human rights, and a host of other topics. John Henrik Clarke provides insight on what motivated him to study African history among other things.

This study explores Clarke's development and conceptualisation of Afrikan World History and its role as a foundation and grounding for liberation, which he defined not simply as freedom from European domination. More fundamentally, Clarke understood liberation as the restoration of African sovereignty.

This volume is a compilation of unpublished critical essays solicited from selected scholars and a number of previously published articles of Clarke. The subject categories are in the areas of: critical essays, Black Nationalism, Africana thought and biography, Africana historiography, narratives, and global Pan Africanist political thought.

In this pamphlet, Larry Crowe comments on the important role that John Henrik Clarke played in the teaching/documenting the contributions made by people of African decent.

This is an Africana (Cornell University) graduate thesis written by Jared Ball. In the abstract Ball writes: "John Henrik Clarke would be introduced to, use and later teach a tradition of African-centered activist/scholarship whose immediate purpose was the restoration of a world history made all but obsolete under the weight of Eurocentric historiography."
