The Book's Index


A Note about the Index  top

Initially I handed off the work of creating the index to Routledge's professional indexer. Getting a draft of the index, however, proved eye opening, more so as previously – in 20-odd years of being a scholar – I'd scarcely given a thought to indexing this book or any other. In assessing the work of the Routledge indexer, I saw that it was about 40% about what I would have done. However, that had more to do with the level of detail that I prefer, rather than any kind of issue with the indexer's baseline work.

That said, my book is part of a literary series. As I reviewed the index, I also discovered that the indexer was not used to a book like mine – one that shifted focus away from familiar British literary contexts to African-centered history and to an array of individuals, locations, and geographical landmarks based on the African continent. Put another way, I never realized an index could have limitations of a sort that would require critical intervention until I saw what had been left in and out of the index that I received from Routledge.

So I decided to use the draft index as a starting point for my own version, as the opportunity to make an additional, if small contribution to righting the historical record. I also took the approach that the index makes an argument – however much the average reader will or (more likely) will not notice – because of the information that the index provides and the way it presents and organizes that information. The index thus became my last method, after I'd finished writing the manuscript and correcting the proofs, for continuing in print (rather than through this site) the critical intervention started by the main part of my book.

That said, I had 15 years to develop the book, but only a few days for the index, with much of that time given to generating the missing 60% of the content (i.e., going through the book page by page and marking key bits) before I even got to the point of shaping the content in a more critically reflective manner. As a result, the book's index might best be seen as a rough cut. As Joe Louis once said, I did the best I could with what I had. It's not perfect, but it is considerably better than what it could have been. I'm providing an online version for several reasons....

 

Ways to Use the Online Index  top

  1. Top hit: Determine if you should hunt up a copy of my book for your own research.
  2. If you have a copy of my book, keep a browser with this page open at your side. That way you can read the book and reference the index without needing to flip back and forth through the book. Hint: Do word searches on this page to find things quickly.
  3. Find a friend or colleague who might be interested in the book, then show them this page.
  4. Provide me with feedback on how I've done the index so that next time – when I am thinking about the index earlier – I can do it better.
  5. See what I did, assess where I succeeded, then do it even better in your own next book.
  6. Create some kind of cool visualization with the index data and send it to me. Show me how the data does and doesn't work.

Other options I leave to your imagination. Enjoy & thanks for reading!
