Indiana University Press has announced the launch of a new scholarly, peer-reviewed journal on the black male experience in the United States. Spectrum: The Journal on Black Men will be published twice a year, beginning in March.
The journal will be produced under the guidance of the department of African American and African studies at Ohio State University, chaired by H. Ike Okafor-Newsum.

The general editors of the new journal are Judson Jeffries, professor and director of the African American and African Studies Community Extension Center at Ohio State University and Terrell L.
