Volume 9 (1990)
Special Double Issue: African American Double Consciousness

The ninth and tenth volumes of Contributions in Black Studies were published as a double volume. The introductory text read, "After several years' absence, Contributions in Black Studies returns to a hopefully more consistent regimen of publishing. Our last issue was number 8, issued for the years 1986-1987. Rather than attempt the impossible task offilling in the intervening publishing gaps, we issue the present, double number for 1990-1992 as Contributions 9/10 -- from our standpoint the most reasonable choice for maintaining our collective sanity. Erratic, no doubt, but should a small, academic journal such as ours be held to a higher standard than that applied to contemporary life in general?"
