University programs have been created with reference to a disciplinary matrix, retarding the development of appropriate theory and methods throughout Africana studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Fifteen leaders in the field of Africana studies provide the conceptual framework for establishing the field as a mature discipline.
