The Africana Studies Effect: Creating Space and Viralizing Consciousness.

The phenomenon known as the "Africana Studies Effect" is gaining growing attention due to its relationship to student engagement on college campuses. The present study includes an examination of twelve empirical studies on the impact of Africana studies on Black students on college campuses. The most prominent features of the impact of Africana studies are identified. Moreover, the results are examined in light of Carter G Woodson's call for a new educational program for Black education.
