Special Issue - Sankofa: African American Music Education
Second announcement
There is a marked absence of African American narratives in mainstream historical accounts of American music education. This special issue seeks to redress this reality and move toward a more inclusive accounting of the past. Sankofa: African American Music Education focuses on narratives of African American music education across the centuries. Sankofa is a word from the Twi language of the Akan people in Ghana that translates to ‘go back and fetch and take,’ its meaning captured in the image of a bird flying forward with its head turned backward and an egg in its mouth symbolizing wisdom from the past to inform the future. Scholarship informing the place of music education in African American thought and culture, and the inclusion and representation of African Americans in American music education has the potential to generate funds of knowledge and wisdom to enlighten and right the course of music education.
