THIS WEEK'S GUEST:
This week's guest on Media Matters is expected to be University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign professor Sundiata Cha-Jua.
Sundiata
Keita Cha-Jua's area of specialization is African America.
Professor Cha-Jua is especially interested in African American
self-activity during the Nadir, 1877-1917 and contemporary political
history, specifically the Black freedom movement, 1966 to the present.
His research interests include African American community formation,
radical and nationalist Black social movements, theories of race and
racism, historical materialism, and culturally relevant pedagogies. He
is the author of America's First
Black Town, Brooklyn, Illinois, 1830-1915 (Urbana University of
Illinois Press, 2000). He is currently engaged in a project that
proposes a structural theory of racial oppression and offers a
materialist paradigm for analyzing African American historical
experiences.
