You could potentially find
information on the study of Africans, African-Americans, and people of African descent in almost any article database/search engine.
For example if you are interested in health issues in the African-American community you would want to use a health/medical database such as PubMed. If you were studying religion practices across African cultures you would probably want to search a religion database such as A.T.L.A.
Trying to determine which database is best for your area of AADS-related research can sometimes prove to be the most difficult part of the research process. Here is a selection of databases which have been found to have excellent interdisciplinary coverage of topics related to people of African descent.
