Black Psychology for Students: Lessons in the African Mind represents an integrated approach to understanding the field of Black Psychology for college students interested in the physical, psychological, and spiritual liberation of African people.  This ground-breaking text interprets more than two thousand years of African intellectual contributions in mathematics, social science, agriculture, medicine, art and astronomy in the context of over a century of scholarship in the contemporary field of Black Psychology. 

The primary audience for this text is undergraduate and graduate college students in psychology, but because this text draws on several different literatures to inform its theoretical framework, students from a variety of disciplines will most likely find it of value including education, sociology, political science, race theory, and African American / Africana studies. Graduate students interested in issues of situated learning and pedagogical content knowledge will also find this text to be a valued resource. Although the tone of this text is serious, it is written in an accessible style intended to accommodate the sensibilities of both experienced educators and students at a variety of levels.
