C’est en décembre 1947 que le premier numéro de la revue Présence africaine voit le jour. Il couronne le rêve de son fondateur, Alioune Diop (1910-1980), qui l’avait déjà imaginé dès la fin de seconde guerre mondiale. Sur le plan historique, la revue suit les traces de celles qui ont été créées dès la fin de la première guerre par des Africains, les Noirs américains et les Antillais, Le Cri de Nègres, La Revue du Monde noir (1931), Légitime défense (1932, un seul numéro), L’étudiant noir (1934-1940), Tropiques (cofondée par Aimé Césaire et René Ménil). Elle se distingue cependant de toutes celles-ci parce qu’elle veut réunir et donner à entendre toutes les voix des Noirs du monde qui vivent tous sans exception, quelle que soit leur langue d’expression, une même expérience historique de la dépossession, du déni d’identité, de la souffrance due à l’esclavage et à la colonisation. Pour faire entendre cette voix et faire mesurer l’intensité et la réalité de cette présence des Nègres au monde, Alioune Diop fait appel, pour le premier numéro, a de prestigieux parrains parmi lesquels André Gide, Jean-Paul Sartre, Théodore Monod, Emmanuel Mounier, Albert Camus, Michel Leiris. Ceux-ci côtoient de prestigieux intellectuels noirs parmi lesquels, L. S. Senghor, Aimé Césaire et Richard Wright. En faisant figurer côte à côte des intellectuels européens et non européens dès le premier numéro de sa revue, Alioune Diop voulait déplacer le débat de la rencontre des peuples et des civilisations qui agitaient les revues précédentes sur le strict terrain de la pensée et de la culture. André Gide ne s’était pas trompé lorsqu’il écrivait en conclusion de son avant-propos du premier numéro : « Présence africaine se propose un vaste programme : accueillir tout ce qui a trait à la cause des Noirs, et toute voix du peuple noir qui lui paraisse mériter d’être entendue. » De fait, plus précisément, la revue avait choisi une ligne éditoriale de laquelle elle n’allait pas dévier : – faire connaître une pensée africaine englobant à la fois la philosophie et les sciences humaines ; – promouvoir les littératures africaines et leur critique. Cette ambition critique éloignait la revue de toute visée politique au mauvais sens du mot. Dans son liminaire « Niam n’goura ou les raisons d’être de Présence Africaine », Alioune Diop précisait d’ailleurs : « Cette revue ne se place sous l’obédience d’aucune idéologie philosophique ou politique. Elle veut s’ouvrir à la collaboration de tous les hommes de bonne volonté (blancs, jaunes ou noirs), susceptibles de nous aider à définir l’originalité africaine et de hâter son insertion dans le monde moderne ».

Although there are numerous technical-scientific books on breast cancer in the global bibliography, such books deal exclusively with the nature of the disease in majority populations of the Western societies, with little or no reference to the nature of the disease in the minority populations in such societies. Similarly, the nature of breast cancer in black women of the less privileged societies, and in women of ethnic groups living in countries of similar socio-economic status, is virtually unknown. For various epidemiological reasons, breast cancer incidence is rapidly increasing in these counties, more so than currently is the case in developed countries. Thus, the global burden of cancer is shifting gradually to these areas of the world, and may equal or even surpass the breast cancer burden in the Western societies within the foreseeable future. This book is unique because it bucks the trend of virtually all other breast cancer books by addressing specifically the breast cancer experience of women of African descent and their lifestyle counterparts in other societies of the world.

The prevalence of violence reported for the African American community continues to pose a significant concern to society as a whole and, in particular, to those charged with reducing it. Confronting the issue head on, Interpersonal Violence in the African American Community: Evidence-Based Prevention and Treatment Practices both challenges existing stereotypes of African Americans and offers concrete, state-of-the-art advice on approaches that are currently – or may soon prove to be – effective with African American populations. The contributors to this volume offer unique insights gained through their extensive individual experiences in family violence prevention and intervention within the African American community as well as their backgrounds in writing, teaching, training, and researching in this area. Taken together, their chapters expand the knowledge base on such topics as the: Most useful and appropriate assessment tools for preventing violence in this community. Developmental effects of the child welfare system on African American youth. Salient aspects of the extended family on African Americans, including grandparents acting as surrogate parents. Strengths and limitations of African American churches in curbing domestic violence. Effective use of spirituality in interventions. Guidelines for evaluating prevention and intervention programs. Interpersonal Violence in the African American Community is essential reading in a variety of professional and clinical settings – as well as graduate-level study – including social work, clinical child, school, and developmental psychology, couples and family therapy, shelters, and victim assistance programs.

African Americans and HIV/AIDS Understanding and Addressing the Epidemic Donna Hubbard McCree, Kenneth T. Jones, and Ann O’Leary, editors According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly half of the more than one million Americans living with HIV/AIDS are African Americans, despite the fact that they comprise only thirteen percent of the US population. Incidence among African Americans is estimated to be approximately 8 times that of European Americans. HIV/AIDS disparities have existed across this diverse group, and continue to take a devastating toll. To intervene effectively, public health professionals must understand the context in which high-risk behavior occurs, and have access to relevant and current prevention strategies. African Americans and HIV/AIDS succeeds on both counts by providing an analysis of the historical, psychosocial, economic, and political issues related to HIV transmission in the black community, and offering a wealth of evidence-based and emerging interventions (including behavioral interventions, and counseling and testing strategies) tailored to specific subpopulations. This dual perspective gives readers the widest understanding of these and other key areas including: • The relationship between poverty, discrimination, and other social disparities to HIV. • The evolving response of the black church to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. • HIV/AIDS in the context of other sexually transmitted infections. • HIV/AIDS prevention strategies specifically targeting heterosexually active men, and women, men who have sex with men, injection drug users, and adolescents. • Prison-based intervention programs. • Structural interventions emphasizing social conditions. Practitioners, researchers, and graduate students in public health, disease prevention, health disparities, and minority health will find African Americans and HIV/AIDS a ready source of valuable background and practical knowledge.
