It is necessary that we as people of color transcend the limits of white concepts and develop a total intellectual offensive against false universality. Past and present literature, readings, theoretical concepts and general ideologies will be shared throughout the diaspora to explain and give meaning to present events.

Welcome Good People of The Diaspora!

I would like us to share ideas, conversation, and thought through old and new literature. Feel free to make any contributions you deem appropriate. The blog title says it all. People of color must be compelled to move away from traditional social sciences to a Black definition or way of defining social sciences that give meaning to and provide an understanding of our lives.

Whether or not one believes in the possibility of a body of knowledge reflective of Black life which can be disciplined and made useful in the survival and development of Black people depends upon many factors. Among them is the determination that such knowledge can be disciplined and a conviction that in such a determined state, the knowledge will be useful in solving specific problems that the community faces.
