Founded in 2014, the African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS) is an organization dedicated to fostering scholarship and dialogue about the history of African-American thought, writing, and culture. Intentionally interdisciplinary and inclusive, the AAIHS is mostly comprised of historians, but also welcomes anyone - including literature scholars, art historians, policy analysts and journalists - with an interest in African-American intellectual history. The AAIHS blog reflects this inclusivity. One can read an interview with urban historian Guadalupe Garcia about her work examining race, space, and empire in Havana; a guest post from English professor and children's book author Janaka Bowman Lewis about historical and contemporary perceptions of black children and play, which pays particular attention to the writing of educator Lucy Craft Laney; and a thoughtful analysis by historian Chernah Sesay Jr. that examines how the black newspaper Freedom's Journal functioned as a sort of "museum" to chronicle the lives and accomplishments of black Americans in the early 19th century. This blog is a strong resource for anyone interested in American history of the African Diaspora.
