This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Black male leaders shape, constrain, or determine leadership style in education as they interact with anti-Black structures such as social perceptions. This qualitative case study investigates the relationship between the social perception of Black men in society and the professional experiences of 15 Black male leaders in K-12 spaces. This study applied BlackCrit to analyze how anti-Blackness impacts the experiences and decision-making processes that coincide with Black leaders' performance and negative experiences. Secondly, the study continues the research of connecting society's attitudes and beliefs of Black males and expands the BlackCrit framework by analyzing how Black suffering increases the pressure to perform, shapes identity, and makes it necessary to create spaces for Black male K-12 leaders to be their most authentic selves and live out their liberatory fantasy in academia."--Abstract
Book Synopsis Building on Resilience by : Fred A. Bonner II
Download or read book Building on Resilience written by Fred A. Bonner II and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we fix the leaky educational pipeline into a conduit of success for Black males?That the issue is critical is demonstrated by the statistics that only 10% of Black males in the United States are proficient in 8th grade reading, only 52% graduate from high school within four years, and only 35 percent graduate from college.This book uniquely examines the trajectory of Black males through the educational pipeline from pre-school through college. In doing so it not only contributes significantly to the scholarship on the experiences of this population, but bridges the gap between theory and practice to provide frameworks and models that will improve these young men’s educational outcomes throughout their educational journeys.A compelling feature of the book is that that it does not treat Black males as homogeneous, but recognizes the diversity that exists among Black males in various educational settings. It demonstrates the need to recognize students’ intersectionalities and individual characteristics as an essential preliminary to developing practices to improve outcomes at every educational stage.Throughout, the contributing authors also focus on the strategies and experiences of Black males who achieve academic excellence, examining growth-producing and asset-based practices that can be sustained, and that build upon the recognition that these males have agency and possess qualities such as resilience that are essential to their learning and development. The frameworks and models that conclude each chapter are equally commendable to K–12 educators and administrators; higher education faculty, student affairs practitioners, and administrators; and policymakers, for whom templates are provided for rectifying the continuing inequities of our educational system.
Book Synopsis The Experience of Black Male Senior Leaders Navigating Stereotype Threat at PWI's by : Byron R. Martin
Download or read book The Experience of Black Male Senior Leaders Navigating Stereotype Threat at PWI's written by Byron R. Martin and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative phenomenological study explores the experience of Black males in senior leadership at Predominantly White Institutions (PWI’s) as they navigate stereotype threat. Extending from the literature on Stereotype Threat pioneered by Steele (1995), this study examines the lived reality of eight (8) Black males in senior leadership. Representing a broad spectrum of institution size and scope, each participant either was a President of a university or reported directly to the president. In-depth interviews were conducted with each participant using a semi-structured research protocol. Each participant was able to describe in detail their lived experience as it related to the major research question and the three sub-questions. The research question was: What is the experience of Black male, senior leaders in predominately white institutions (PWI) while maintaining legitimacy and navigating stereotype threat? How do Black males in senior leadership interact with the knowledge of perceived stereotypes while leading the institution? What identity is most salient to Black males in senior leadership (being Black or being a leader)? How does that saliency impact the leader's experience with legitimacy (Individual, Institutional, Environmental, Technical, & Moral)? What coping mechanism do Black males in senior leadership employ to navigate stereotype threat? Through thematic analysis of the thick-rich data collected during this study, seven thematic responses developed. The data provided a comprehensive understanding of the experience of Black males. The responses that developed were: (1) Black, but not only Black; (2) Role vs. Identity; (3) It is what it is; Onliness; (4) Navigating Whiteness; (5) Code-Switching; (6) Authenticity and (7) Vulnerability. The themes advanced by this study add to the body of knowledge on this topic and serve to bridge a gap in the given theory of legitimacy (Bornstein, 2003). Implications for practice in Leadership, Learning, and Service are discussed as well as implications for current and future research. However greater research on Black males in leadership and leading educational institutions is warranted in order to increase the understanding and support of Black males in leadership positions.
Book Synopsis Black Males and Racism by : Terence D. Fitzgerald
Download or read book Black Males and Racism written by Terence D. Fitzgerald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the twenty-first-century curtain of "colorblind" public sentiment lies an often-ignored reality shared by many African American males—racism continues to thrive and often drastically affects their lives. Fitzgerald draws on his extensive interviews of black males to reveal the experiences of racism that continue in public schools and in American higher education. Using empirical data and the methods of sociological research, Fitzgerald analyzes how the persistent effects of white supremacy in education have threatened the psychological and economic welfare of black males. The effects often last well into adulthood. Unraveling the subtle and overt mechanisms of institutional social control leads Fitzgerald to proposals to reduce structural racism and improve the lives of African American youth.
Book Synopsis The Education of Black Males in a 'Post-Racial' World by : Anthony L. Brown
Download or read book The Education of Black Males in a 'Post-Racial' World written by Anthony L. Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-09-13 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Book Synopsis Coolposing: Secrets of Black Male Leadership in America by : Dr. George Cross, DM
Download or read book Coolposing: Secrets of Black Male Leadership in America written by Dr. George Cross, DM and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychology and social science practically ignored “cool” as a legitimate topic of research. While in fact, the occurrence of cool has played an important role in the historical, social and cultural development of Black people, especially some Black males. Some Black male businessmen use cool behaviors to fight against stress caused by meaningful life supporting social, economic, political, and business issues. Coolposing is a leadership strategy based on African cultural elements of communicative individuality and mysticism, emerging from influences of “cool pose.” It is a part of character, and character is the representation of one’s self in everyday life. It is a positive response by America’s Black males (and not niggas) to alienation, lynching, and loss of community grounded in the coolness of the first group of captured, yet resistant Africans, who arrived at Jamestown, Virginia in 1619. Within this book, readers will learn all about this often ignored subject, its central elements, and the nine kinds of “cool.” Coolposing proposes a major shift for the best mental, spiritual and physical health of Black males and prescribes measures for crisis intervention, as well as for preventing mental burnout.

Book Synopsis Being Black, Being Male on Campus by : Derrick R. Brooms
Download or read book Being Black, Being Male on Campus written by Derrick R. Brooms and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-12-28 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores how race and gender matter on campus and how Black males navigate college for academic and personal success. This work marks a radical shift away from the pervasive focus on the challenges that Black male students face and the deficit rhetoric that often limits perspectives about them. Instead, Derrick R. Brooms offers reflective counter-narratives of success. Being Black, Being Male on Campus uses in-depth interviews to investigate the collegiate experiences of Black male students at historically White institutions. Framed through Critical Race Theory and Blackmaleness, the study provides new analysis on the utility and importance of Black Male Initiatives (BMIs). This work explores Black mens perceptions, identity constructions, and ambitions, while it speaks meaningfully to how race and gender intersect as they influence students experiences. Well written and informative, this exciting project cuts across many of the strengths of previous publications and fills significant theoretical and methodological gaps by focusing on authentically voiced Black men who are finding and making their way in higher education and in life.

Book Synopsis Microaggressions in K-12 Public Education by : Vincent Norman Suber (II)
Download or read book Microaggressions in K-12 Public Education written by Vincent Norman Suber (II) and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students of Color have been mistreated in education for a variety of reasons. Current literature and reports documented mistreatment, which Students of Color have experienced for many years. Mistreatments known as microaggressions, which are insults or slights that make a person from a marginalized group feel less valued, are especially flagrant in the public school setting. The purpose of this self-study was to determine the impact microaggressions may have had on Black male and Black school leader identity. This study gives a first-person account of how microaggressions in K-12 public schools have directly impacted identity. The data collected through journaled critical incidents and Currere provided the methodology needed to purposefully reflect on the impact of microaggressions on identity. The data collected led to the themes of Pride, Protection and Understanding. The study also was prominent in determining the role resilience and Family of Origin played in Black male and Black male leader identity. The self-study also has the potential to play a prominent role in promoting values and ethics that are required and expected for leaders in educational administration. Educators can use this self-study to improve upon their own practices and raise consciousness about the impact of microaggressions in the school setting. The self-study has the potential to teach other educators and educational school leaders to accept responsibility for the treatment of Students of Color within the public school setting.
Book Synopsis Black Male Deviance by : Anthony J. Lemelle
Download or read book Black Male Deviance written by Anthony J. Lemelle and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1995 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies of Black men have been and will be produced, but most have approached the subject from angles other than a position of scholarship that explores how Black men have come to be socially produced as deviants, and asks how have persons in academe participated in the production of these perceived deviants, and how has the Black community responded to this social construct of a role. This work is directed toward sociologists and those who are interested in the study of the Black community.
Book Synopsis Success, Transformation, and Service by : Erin Nicole-Saddler Unkefer
Download or read book Success, Transformation, and Service written by Erin Nicole-Saddler Unkefer and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychological research has often used a deficit model to understand the mental health of Black Americans. Specifically, in social science research Black men have often been portrayed as unmotivated, underachieving and violent (Harper, 2012). This study used a strengths-based approach to explore the lives of successful Black men. The purpose of this study was to investigate successful, post-collegiate Black men's conceptualization of success through an exploration of transformative moments in their lives. Additionally, the purpose of this study is to understand how participants articulate communalism, or being of service, which is a core, strengths-based value for many in the Black community (Moemeka, 1998). Participants of this study were eleven Black male alumni members of a leadership academy that highly values service and achievement. Narrative inquiry and critical race theory informed the qualitatively constructed dialogues and thematic analysis presented. This study described a variety of people (including mentors, parents/caregivers, peers and public figures) and opportunities (such as attending rigorous schools and extracurricular engagement) that shaped participants' success. Additionally, participants discussed the importance of communalism in their lives described as being motivated by ancestral history and a sense of responsibility to Black male youth. Implications for Black male mental health and the field of counseling psychology are explored.
Book Synopsis Black Male Perspectives of the Role Race Plays with Black Male Leader/leadership Development in the World of Work by : Rudy F. Jamison (Jr.)
Download or read book Black Male Perspectives of the Role Race Plays with Black Male Leader/leadership Development in the World of Work written by Rudy F. Jamison (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There have been relatively few studies examining the leadership of Black men, and even fewer studies examining the leadership of Black men from the phenomenology of Black men, themselves. The purpose of this Q Methodology study was to examine Black male perspectives of the role race plays with Black male leader/leadership development in the world of work. The study was designed as an exploratory attempt to surface and understand how 40 emerging African American male leaders in a large, urban city in the SE United States viewed their own leadership development. Elements of socio-analytic theory and leader-member exchange theories were the basis for the conceptual framework. The 40 participants sorted 41 statements reflecting distinct perspectives on the role race plays with Black male leader/leadership development within the world of work. Participants sorted these 41 statements within a forced distribution response grid based on what best reflected their perspectives. These 40 sorts were then correlated and the correlations were factor analyzed and rotated, leading to the extraction of five factors, each representing five distinct, shared perspectives. Following examination and analysis of these five factors, or shared perspectives, the researcher named them: 1) Faithful, Familial, and Resilient, 2) Creative, Faithful, and Independent, 3) Attentive, Connected, and Woke, and 4) Knowledgeable, Congruent, and Unapologetically Black, and 5) Responsible, Faithful, and Supportive. The results of this study suggest there is rich diversity among Black male perspectives regarding their leadership development, and demonstrates important functions outside the workplace. These diverse perspectives and those elements characterizing them should be considered as educators prepare to work with Black males and those preparing to support their development, leadership and otherwise. Finally, the researcher suggests that future research into the experiences and perceptions of Black men continue to seek methodologies that honor and magnify their voices.
Book Synopsis The Trouble With Black Boys by : Pedro A. Noguera
Download or read book The Trouble With Black Boys written by Pedro A. Noguera and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-06-09 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years to come, race will continue to be a source of controversy and conflict in American society. For many of us it will continue to shape where we live, pray, go to school, and socialize. We cannot simply wish away the existence of race or racism, but we can take steps to lessen the ways in which the categories trap and confine us. Educators, who should be committed to helping young people realize their intellectual potential as they make their way toward adulthood, have a responsibility to help them find ways to expand identities related to race so that they can experience the fullest possibility of all that they may become. In this brutally honest—yet ultimately hopeful— book Pedro Noguera examines the many facets of race in schools and society and reveals what it will take to improve outcomes for all students. From achievement gaps to immigration, Noguera offers a rich and compelling picture of a complex issue that affects all of us.
Book Synopsis The Color of Accusal by : Gregory Ashton Pemberton
Download or read book The Color of Accusal written by Gregory Ashton Pemberton and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual violence is an issue every college in America must work to prevent. Critical race scholars such as Derrick Bell may argue sexual violence can be viewed through a lens of race because racism is ordinary and not aberrational (Crewe, 2021). Historical context can affect the perceptions racialized groups or populations have when discussing sexual violence, like Black students for example. Historically, Black men have been socially connected to hypersexuality and criminality (Baker,1998). This may affect how Black men view peers accused of sexual violence. Black women, however, have a history of being met with skepticism or disbelief when they disclose experiencing sexual violence (Brubaker & Mancini, 2017). Studies show the majority of rapes are intra-racial (Koch, 1995; Wheeler & George, 2001). Thus, how sexual violence impacts Black communities is important to explore. This study examines the following questions: (1) How do Black men perceive rape allegations made by Black women against Black men? (2) What impacts those perceptions? To answer both questions, I conducted a study where participants were presented with a hypothetical scenario. The scenario contained a hypothetical intra-racial occurrence of sexual violence in which a Black woman alleged a Black man assaulted her. Using inductive coding, I analyzed the interview findings using intersectionality and cultural betrayal trauma theory (CBTT). In analyzing the findings of 14 interviews conducted, I looked for perceptions Black male participants had of sexual assault allegations made against Black men made by Black women. Fourteen participants, who were enrolled in college at the undergraduate level at a predominantly white institution (PWI) in California, were involved in this study. Data was collected via virtual semi-structured one-on-one interviews. Findings revealed Black men had a myriad of perceptions about intra-racial sexual violence on Black communities. They were supportive of the survivor in the hypothetical scenario and identified key elements of the survivor's dismissal as well as barriers to her disclosure of the assault. Participants also believed their Black male peers would have mixed reactions to the scenario, with some supporting and affirming the survivor, and others dismissing and invalidating the survivor's experience. Participants noted the differences in such responses to scenarios included upbringing, media influences, reputation, lack of institutional trust, and other factors. Practical suggestions included an institutional change within the university setting to acknowledge elements of consent, coercion, victim-blaming, and other elements of rape culture outside of explicit conversations about sexual violence. This included revising particular Title IX orientations, creating courses to highlight these elements within their curricula, hosting culturally relevant workshops for mandated reporters, as well as Title IX officers and university police departments specifically, as well as implementing taskforces to strategically implement these suggestions. Suggestions also included incorporating newsletters to outline how sexual violence impacts different minoritized groups and incorporating more minoritized group resources into national sexual violence college prevention reports. Some also suggested incorporating restorative justice models within colleges & universities for students to establish systems of pressure to hold institutions accountable for making requisite changes to address sexual violence concerns on campus. Suggestions for future research include exploring the relationships between Black men and institutional agents (i.e., Title IX officers and police officers), Black men's perceptions of intra-racial sexual violence allegations at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Black men's perceptions of intra-racial sexual violence allegations at higher education institutions across the United States beyond just the West Coast, Black women's perceptions of intra-racial sexual violence, as well as perceptions of intra-racial sexual violence experienced in other racial/cultural groups.
Book Synopsis Examining the Impact of Community Violence and Health-related Behaviors Among Black Males and Hispanic Males by : Kourtney A. D. Byrd
Download or read book Examining the Impact of Community Violence and Health-related Behaviors Among Black Males and Hispanic Males written by Kourtney A. D. Byrd and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: The intersection of community violence exposure, coping strategies, and health behaviors has not been investigated among young adult Black males and Hispanic males in Lake County, Indiana. Approximately 22 miles from Chicago, Lake County includes noteworthy mid-sized cities such as Gary, Hammond, and East Chicago. In 2021, firearms were involved in 44 of 48 homicides in Gary, 15 of 16 homicides in Hammond, and 12 of 13 homicides in East Chicago. Black males and Hispanic males are at a higher risk of engaging in harmful and unhealthy behaviors as a coping mechanism in response to exposure to community violence. This study explores thirteen Black males' and Hispanic males' ages 18-25 and fifteen practitioners' (community mentors and mental health professionals) perceptions of coping strategies and healthy and health risk behaviors after directly witnessing and/or indirectly experiencing a violent act or event. Methods: Using community-based participatory research (CBPR) orientation, this study employed collaborative partnership with Holistic Evolution (HE), a community-based organization in Northwest Indiana, home to Lake County. Aspects of Social Cognitive Theory were incorporated to design this community-based participatory research. Twenty-eight participants completed 40-80-minute, audio-recorded, phenomenological semi-structured interviews. Audio recordings were transcribed, and NVIVO was used by the research team (primary researchers and two coders) to complete transcript analysis.Results: Findings provided an understanding of how Black males and Hispanic males cope after being exposed to violence either directly or indirectly. Insights from Black males and Hispanic males emerged regarding (1) directly or indirectly experiencing violence; (2) changes in everyday life experiences; (3) coping strategies that involved socio-emotional health, spiritual health, social health, and risky health behaviors; (4) rationales for not asking for help; (5) observations of significant others' coping; (6) what to do differently in the future; (7) beliefs about Mentors; and (8) beliefs about Mental Health Providers. Findings provided insight into Mentors' and Mental Health Providers' beliefs about how Black males and Hispanic males cope after being exposed to community violence. Three main themes emerged: (1) Community Mentors' perception of helping Black males and Hispanic males cope; (2) Mental Health Providers' perceptions of helping Black males and Hispanic Males cope (3) How Relationship Makes the Difference in Connecting before being able to help Black males and Hispanic males cope effectively. Subthemes included being a good mentor and the impact of the gender or race of a mental health provider.Conclusion: Delving into' participants' experiences revealed that Black males and Hispanic males in Lake County, Indiana, choose to adopt a range of health risk and positive health strategies after directly witnessing and/or indirectly experiencing violence. Becoming knowledgeable about Black males' and Hispanic males' diverse coping strategies and health behaviors informs the community about how best to co-create spaces that aim to alleviate the traumatic experience of having directly or indirectly experienced community violence. The incidence of adverse health outcomes and traumatization associated with Black males' and Hispanic males' exposure to community violence is a public health issue that requires more research to develop alternative coping strategies to promote healthier behaviors. More efforts are needed in training males of color to serve adequately as mentors and mental health providers, strengthen connectivity, and facilitate healing practices with Black males and Hispanic males.
Book Synopsis The Minds of Marginalized Black Men by : Alford A. Young Jr.
Download or read book The Minds of Marginalized Black Men written by Alford A. Young Jr. and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While we hear much about the "culture of poverty" that keeps poor black men poor, we know little about how such men understand their social position and relationship to the American dream. Moving beyond stereotypes, this book examines how twenty-six poverty-stricken African American men from Chicago view their prospects for getting ahead. It documents their definitions of good jobs and the good life--and their beliefs about whether and how these can be attained. In its pages, we meet men who think seriously about work, family, and community and whose differing experiences shape their views of their social world. Based on intensive interviews, the book reveals how these men have experienced varying degrees of exposure to more-privileged Americans--differences that ground their understandings of how racism and socioeconomic inequality determine their life chances. The poorest and most socially isolated are, perhaps surprisingly, most likely to believe that individuals can improve their own lot. By contrast, men who regularly leave their neighborhood tend to have a wider range of opportunities but also have met with more racism, hostility, and institutional obstacles--making them less likely to believe in the American Dream. Demonstrating how these men interpret their social world, this book seeks to de-pathologize them without ignoring their experiences with chronic unemployment, prison, and substance abuse. It shows how the men draw upon such experiences as they make meaning of the complex circumstances in which they strive to succeed.
