Description

This encyclopedia provides the most complete treatment to date of the accomplishments of African American scientists-and the struggles of African Americans to find their place in the scientific community.

This comprehensive reference work sheds new light on an aspect of African American life that is often overlooked. More than a summary of individuals and accomplishments, African Americans in Science: An Encyclopedia of People and Progress explores the entire experience of African Americans seeking a place in the scientific community-not just the triumphs but the frustrations, discriminations, and the efforts to support (and sometimes impede) African American scientists.

African Americans in Science offers alphabetically organized entries in three areas: the contributions of African Americans in over 30 different fields of science and medicine, schools and organizations that played a role in the development of African American scientists, and additional topics related to African American scientists. No other reference offers such a complete and up-to-date portrait of the pivotal work of African Americans across the spectrum of scientific research and what it took to achieve it.
