can we turn this back into a disambiguation page please? It can never be more than a WP:CFORK of African studies and African American studies. If you are interested in the topic, please please invest some energy into the pathetic African studies stub instead. If 10% of the energy wasted in bickering on Talk:Afrocentrism went into constructive work on topics of African studies, Misplaced Pages coverage of the field would be several classes better than it is. thanks, dab (𒁳) 17:08, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with this being a disambig page or a very short article that links to African studies and African American studies, but there are a lot of Africana Studies departments at U.S. colleges and universities. I have no idea how many there are versus African Studies/African American Studies departments, but it's not an uncommon way of structuring a department in the U.S. I think this has more to do with departmental budgets than ideology, honestly--if you widen your focus to the Americas and Africa, you can justify hiring more faculty, get more majors, etc. --Akhilleus (talk) 17:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
