Style Guidelines for PapersEnterprising African American men and women shaped and were shaped by cultural, social, and political changes in U.S. society. Their relationship with the state and their engagement with discourses of race, gender, nation, and class help us understand the many ways African Americans have struggled to strike a tenable balance between personal agency and structural constraints. . . . African American entrepreneurs and businesses place political and economic histories in dialog with each other to underscore how race is fundamental—not incidental—to how business gets done. The editors seek essays that take an interdisciplinary approach to understanding African American business history. They welcome works that place African American business in local, regional, national, or global economic, political, social, and cultural contexts. The articles in this special issue will include intellectual and social histories, proceeding from an economic perspective, that critically assess and encourage broad perspectives in thinking about African American contributions to capitalism, entrepreneurship, and power in and across various historical periods.
