A Bibliographical Guide to a Study of Black History.

This 'Bibliographic Guide' to sources of black literature is intended to be an instrument for staff development for groups of professionals and paraprofessionals who have regular day-to-day contact with black children and who wish to obtain a deeper understanding of black culture. The presentation is divided into five categories, each accompanied by interpretative statements which offer a conceptual framework within which the relevance of the references can more clearly be understood. The initial section, "General Historical Sources', is concerned with materials that provide comprehensive accounts of black history. 'History with a Psychological Perspective', presents references that discuss psychologically the effects of a history of discriminative oppression. 'Socio-History', looks at those references concerned with the behavior of individuals and groups in the light of social factors. The fourth section presents selected digests of the activities of the protest movement, while section 5 suggests biographies of Negro leaders. (CS)
