This book, based on the auto-ethnographic work of a team of scholars who pioneered the first Black Digital Humanities program at a research institution, delves into the centralization of Black feminist praxes of care, ethics, and Black studies within the digital humanities (DH). The authors, Catherine Knight Steele, Jessica H. Lu, and Kevin C. Winstead, who comprise the inaugural team of the African American Digital Humanities Initiative, forefront Black scholars, Black thought, and Black studies in the creation of digital research and programming. By offering valuable insights into securing funding, building and sustaining community, developing curricula, and establishing a national network in the field, this book propels Black individuals and Black thought from the periphery to the center, offering a comprehensive set of best practices and guiding questions for scholars, students, and practitioners engaged in programming, creating work agreements, building radically intentional pedagogy, and envisioning an ethical future for Black DH.

This book holds immense significance for researchers, students, scholars, and practitioners engaged in the domains of DH and Black studies, as well as graduate students, faculty, and administrators interested in establishing centers, courses, and/or research programs in Black digital studies. Its comprehensive approach and practical guidance make it an invaluable resource for those seeking to advance the field and promote inclusivity and equity in digital humanities research.
