by Anthony B. Bradley

Black Scholars in White Space highlights the recent research and scholarly contributions to various academic disciplines by some of America's history making African American scholars working in Christian higher education. Many are the first African Americans, or only African Americans teaching at their respective institutions. Moreover, never before have this many African American female scholars in Christian higher education had their research presented in a single, cross-disciplinary volume. The scholars in this book, spanning the humanities and social sciences, examine the issues in public policy, church/state relations, healthcare, women's issues in higher education, theological anthropology, affirmative action, and black history.
