“…Du Bois gave this issue voice in his essay “The Training of Negroes for Social Power” which theoretically served as foreground for the idea of an applied framework for Black thought (Provenzo, 2002). Decades later, an article appeared by M. Jackson titled “Toward a Sociology of Black Studies,” published in 1970, which illuminated the possibilities and need of the applied idea. Adding to this body of knowledge, in 1973 in an edited volume, The Death of White Sociology , the essay “Quantitative Methods and Black Community Studies,” by J. Harris and W. McCullough, offered useful critique in this area as well.…”

The current intellectual and political climate dictates a need for an empirically driven trajectory for the discipline of African American studies. An African-centered worldview in concert with a theoretical research framework to guide Africana studies scholars’ use of social science research methods is what is presented in this work. In the 21st century, the unique interests of African-descended people are best served by the empirical approach, specifically when legislative bodies and social service providers require data-based solutions to social problems. Applied Africana Studies is a theoretical framework that guides the production of scholarship that is both centered and relevant to the needs and interests of people of African descent. In some quarters, the empirical method is dismissed because of its disproportionate use by non-African researchers and their politically driven agendas against the interests of African people. To address this, the training of African-centered empirical practitioners who hold the terminal degree in African American studies is an absolute imperative to advance African development on African terms in the 21st century.

“…Billingsley ( 1970: 2 12) notes that white sociologists accept the doctrine that non-Europeans are less than human. Ladner (1973) and Jackson (1970) suggest that white sociologists' assumptions degrade blacks. Sowell ( 1972:41) criticizes white sociologists' methodology in that they look for the unusual and overlook some basic facts of black life by concentrating on a few blacks and ignoring their working class membership.…”

The Importance of Race Among Black Sociologists

This paper explores the importance of race and racial attitudes among sociologists by attempting to document the existence of what has been called a “black insiders doctrine” and showing that black sociologists are more likely than their white counterparts to subscribe to this doctrine. Data in this paper are based on a survey questionnaire administered during the winter of 1978. The findings show that: (1) race is a strong predictor in determining how sociologists perceive the role and characteristics of black sociologists and (2) black sociologists do not think highly of whites who study race relations.
