A 2021 AESA Critics' Choice Award Winner
A 2021 SPE Outstanding Book Award Winner This volume brings together leading scholars and practitioners to address the theory and practice of African-centered education. The contributors provide (1) perspectives on the history, methods, successes and challenges of African-centered education, (2) discussions of the efforts that are being made to counter the miseducation of Black children, and (3) prescriptions for--and analyses of--the way forward for Black children and Black communities. The authors argue that Black children need an education that moves them toward leading and taking agency within their own communities. They address several areas that capture the essence of what African-centered education is, how it works, and why it is a critical imperative at this moment. Those areas include historical analyses of African-centered education; parental perspectives; strategies for working with Black children; African-centered culture, science and STEM; culturally responsive curriculum and instruction; and culturally responsive resources for teachers and school leaders. Perfect for courses such as: Black Education Multicultural Education Urban Education Blacks in Higher Education Achievement Gap Culture and Education Racism in Education Critical Race Theory
