Historically Black Colleges and Universities were established to provide the opportunity for higher education to people of African descent in the era of segregation. The visions, values, and heritages these schools embodied enabled them to chart new frontiers of learning, scholarship, and public engagement for and beyond the United States. Historical Black Colleges and Universities in a Globalizing World: The Past, the Present, and the Future, edited by Alem Hailu, Mohamed S. Camara, and Sabella O. Abidde examines the history and contribution of these institutions in the broader national and global sociopolitical context of the changes taking place in the nation and the world. Collectively, the contributors offer reflections and visions by both looking back and forward to find viable answers to the challenges and opportunities HBCUs face in the new century and beyond. They argue that as the world convulses by the new global dynamics of emerging pandemics, economic dislocations, and resource constraints, HBCUs are uniquely positioned to meet these challenges.
"Historical Black Colleges and Universities in a Globalizing World is an impressive collection of interdisciplinary chapters that underscores the transformative agency and challenges of HBCUs in higher education, knowledge production, and dissemination, and as catalysts in the development of human capital and sociopolitical activism in the United States and across the globe. It is highly recommended."
-- Gloria Chuku, University of Maryland, Baltimore County"Historical Black Colleges and Universities in a Globalizing World: The Past, the Present, and the Future, not only serves as an introduction to those who may not know much about Historical Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), but also serves a reminder to others about their value, importance, and relevance, in the twenty-firstcentury and beyond. What is important to note about this book is that it offers an international perspective of HBCUs and the impact its attendees and graduates have on countries around the globe and in America. Moreover Historical Black Colleges and Universities in a Globalizing World: The Past, the Present, and the Future, offers insight on what HBCUs can do to ensure their survival, so they can continue to shape American society and the world."
