The selection committee noted that the volume as a whole was impressive and inspiring. In particular they lauded the introduction, which defines the Africana paradigm as the orientation for the discipline’s foundation, the comprehensive chronicling of the discipline’s qualitative and quantitative research methods and the thoughtful and effective examples, which demonstrated McDougal's skills as a communicator.
