Tracing the full intellectual and political tradition of Black Education is IMPOSSIBLE.  So various zines are dotted across this course website created by graduate students, like the one below, to honor the canons/cannons and classics we need to know.  It’s a way to focus on the newest scholarship without erasing deeply entrenched Black intellectual genealogies as white curricula so often do.
(These zines of the website will continue on and on.)
