Synopsis Schooling for the New Slavery by : Donald Spivey

One of the most damning and compelling critiques of the New South, Northern benevolence and the race leadership of W.E.B. DuBois's The Souls Of Black Folk. Spivey presents an arresting case for industrial education in the post-Civil War South as being a major force in teaching blacks to remain subservient. Drawing heavily on newspapers, archives and the manuscript collections of the institutions involved, he presents a radical and controversial re-reading of recent US history.

Synopsis Too Much Schooling, Too Little Education by : Mwalimu J. Shujaa

""Too Much Schooling with its educational focus, fits into the Afrocentric school of thought with its aim to develop subject-centered analysis and solutions for African children. This book is an attempt to illustrate and demonstrate some of the ways we can use our cultural base to educate children." -- Molefi K. Asante, Author of Africa World Press titles: Afrocentricity; Kemet, Afrocentricity, and Knowledge; The Book of African Names; Thunder and Silence; African Culture. "It is our responsibility as African-American parents, educators and citizens to develop educational settings - formal and informal - where cultural understandings (political, historical, literary, technological, financial, health, law, etc.) are not transmitted accidentally, but by design. Too Much Schooling, Too Little Education is an over-needed addition to the ongoing search for meaningful African-centered education. Dr. Shujaa has edited a collection that is not only a first in this field, he has also assembled in one volume some of the best thinkers and practitioners working today. This book is more than impressive, it is required reading." -- Haki R. Madhubuti, Publisher of Third World Press."--taken from back cover.

Synopsis The Education of Black Males in a 'Post-Racial' World by : Anthony L. Brown

The Education of Black Males in a ‘Post-Racial’ World examines the varied structural and discursive contexts of race, masculinities and class that shape the educational and social lives of Black males. The contributing authors take direct aim at the current discourses that construct Black males as disengaged in schooling because of an autonomous Black male culture, and explore how media, social sciences, school curriculum, popular culture and sport can define and constrain the lives of Black males. The chapters also provide alternative methodologies, theories and analyses for making sense of and addressing the complex needs of Black males in schools and in society. By expanding our understanding of how unequal access to productive opportunities and quality resources converge to systemically create disparate experiences and outcomes for African-American males, this volume powerfully illustrates that race still matters in 'post-racial' America. This book was originally published as a special issue of Race Ethnicity and Education.
