Shay,
I love Donald Fixico's book "The American Indian Mind in a Linear World" -
you might look at it. Also, Lewis Gordon's "Introduction to Africana
Philosophy" is not only comprehensive, it has a fantastic bibliography -
tons of great suggestions for more readings. I'll look at my shelf when I
get back to my office for more ideas. Good luck - it would be a great
program.
Best, Melissa
