ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Manning Marable is the M. Moran Weston and Black Alumni Professor of African-American Studies, Professor of Public Affairs, Political Science, and History, and Director of the Center for Contemporary Black History (CCBH) at Columbia University in New York City. For ten years, he was the founding director of the Institute for Research in African-American Studies at Columbia, from 1993 to 2003. Under his leadership, the Institute became one of the nation’s most respected African-American Studies programs in the country.

Born in 1950, Marable received his Ph.D. in American history at the University of Maryland-College Park in 1976. For thirty-five years Marable has been a major architect of outstanding African-American Studies and interdisciplinary studies university programs. In the early 1980s, he reestablished Fisk University’s historic Race Relations Institute. From 1983 to 1986, Marable was founding director of Colgate University’s Africana and Latin American Studies program. From 1987 to 1989 Marable headed Ohio State University’s Black Studies department.

At Columbia University in 2002, Marable established the Center for Contemporary Black History (CCBH), an innovative research, publications, and new media resources center. CCBH produces Web-based educational resources designed to enhance the teaching and learning of the African-American past, for both secondary schools and colleges. CCBH produces the leading African-American Studies academic journal in the country—Souls : A Critical Journal of Black Politics, Culture and Society.

Marable has been the recipient of numerous awards and prizes for his scholarly work. He has received two honorary doctorates, from the State University of New York-New Paltz (2000) and the City University of New York-John Jay College (2006). His book The Autobiography of Medgar Evers, coedited with Myrlie Evers-Williams, was nominated for an NAACP Image Award. In 2005, he received the Ida B. Wells–Cheikh Anta Diop Award for Outstanding Scholarship from the National Council of Black Studies. His books Beyond Black and White, in 1996, and W. E. B. Du Bois, in 1987, received the Book of the Year Award from the Gustavus Myers Center for the Study of Human Rights, University of Arkansas.

A prolific writer, since 1980 Marable has produced fifteen books, thirteen edited volumes, and more than four hundred articles in academic journals, edited volumes, encyclopedias, and related publications. Marable’s major works include How Capitalism Underdeveloped Black America: Problems in Race, Political Economy, and Society (1983); Black American Politics (1985); Beyond Black and White: Transforming African-American Politics (1995); Black Leadership (1998); The Great Wells of Democracy: The Meaning of Race in American Life (2002); The Autobiography of Medgar Evers (coedited with Myrlie Evers-Williams, 2005); Living Black History: How Reimagining the African-American Past Can Remake America’s Racial Future (2006); and Race, Reform, and Rebellion: The Second Reconstruction and Beyond in Black America, 1945-2006 (2007).
