Crowder, Ralph L.
- Abstract
The article discusses the history and historiography of African American scholarship with a focus on self-trained black historians. The author reflects on stepladder radicals and street scholars and their contributions to the study of black history. Topics explored include the popularization and professionalization of African American history, the influence of stepladder radicals to the social movement led by reformer Marcus Garvey, and the impact of black feminist advocates. Emphasis is given to the relation of self-trained historians to traditional academic life and the role of the intellectual in the community.
