Afro-Americans

In

New York Life and History

     Afro-Americans in New York Life and History is published two times per year (January and July).  The journal publishes analytical, historical, and descriptive articles dealing with African Americans in New York State.  We endeavor to encourage research and scholarship pertaining to local and regional African American communities.  We believe that local and regional studies will serve as building blocks in establishing a continuous and connected body of scholarship aimed at enhancing our understanding of the larger African American experience.

     The journal also features articles dealing with methodology and trends in local and regional African American Studies.  Moreover, we attempt to aid the researcher by identifying and publicizing information concerning the location of archival sources and research materials pertaining to African Americans in New York State.   We occasionally publish documents that have historical significance to the African American experience in the State of New York.  The journal publishes book reviews pertaining to various aspects of the life, history, and culture of people of African descent and race relations.
