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 The Handbook of Research on Black Males by : Theodore S. Ransaw
Download or read book The Handbook of Research on Black Males written by Theodore S. Ransaw and published by MSU Press. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from the work of top researchers in various fields, The Handbook of Research on Black Males explores the nuanced and multifaceted phenomena known as the black male. Simultaneously hyper-visible and invisible, black males around the globe are being investigated now more than ever before; however, many of the well-meaning responses regarding media attention paid to black males are not well informed by research. Additionally, not all black males are the same, and each of them have varying strengths and challenges, making one-size-fits-all perspectives unproductive. This text, which acts as a comprehensive tool that can serve as a resource to articulate and argue for policy change, suggest educational improvements, and advocate judicial reform, fills a large void. The contributors, from multidisciplinary backgrounds, focus on history, research trends, health, education, criminal and social justice, hip-hop, and programs and initiatives. This volume has the potential to influence the field of research on black males as well as improve lives for a population that is often the most celebrated in the media and simultaneously the least socially valued.

Book excerpt: African Americans are the descendents of a great and mighty people. However, today, despite over 50 years of so-called progress, the African-American community faces a myriad of obstacles that contribute to our continued disenfranchisement and marginalization. With an increase in black-on-black crime, drug abuse, drug dealing, gang-related violence, illiteracy, and a lack of spiritual development; not to mention our economic and political deficiencies, African Americans are struggling to gain true equality, prosperity, and respect here in America.Over the last 50 years, African Americans have heard many speeches, read many books, and attended demonstration marches and protest rallies; however, today, the descendants of African slaves are as dysfunctional as ever. The concepts and strategies of the "Black-print" are focused towards uplifting African Americans to a level of success that is unprecedented in these United States. The Black-print intends to remove the tarnish and stigma that has been a burden to the descendants of African slaves for hundreds of years. The Black-prints aspires to reveal the beauty, dignity and power of a once great and mighty people.What I am about to proclaim in the Black-print will no doubt be controversial, dismissed by some as "too lofty" of a goal, some will classify it as divisive. Some will even attempt to discredit me and the strategies and concepts proposed in the Black-print. This will not deter me; I know that I speak the truth. The spirits of my ancestors flows through my soul. I feel as though the "warrior spirit" of my ancestors permeates my essence. This spirit has been inside of me for as long as I have known myself. Therefore; I can do nothing else but fight the injustices perpetrated against the descendants of African slaves.African Americans must answer the call, the call that says: You were once a great and mighty people, why have you forsaken your family, your culture, and your religion? A call that says: Why do you deny your heritage and forget the pain and suffering we endured? Why havent you redeemed our honor and reestablished our greatness within your adopted country as well as aboard? This is a book that should be read by every African American who desires a better life.African Americans will never be respected as individuals until African Americans are respected as a people! The Black-print contains bold and radical solutions a solid, detailed plan to address the problems that afflict the descendants of African slaves and raise them to a level unprecedented in the United States of America. This book gets to the heart of the many problems and obstacles faced by the African American community and presents an opportunity to subdue the destructive forces that continue to block our path towards wealth, prosperity and respect. The Black-Print is a call to action - a call that must be answered!

Book Synopsis The 21st-Century Black Librarian in America by : Andrew P. Jackson
Download or read book The 21st-Century Black Librarian in America written by Andrew P. Jackson and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2012-04-12 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1970 and 1994 editions of The Black Librarian in America by E.J. Josey singled out racism as an important issue to be addressed within the library profession. Although much has changed since then, this latest collection of 48 essays by Black librarians and library supporters again identifies racism as one of many challenges of the new century. Essays are written by library educators, library graduate students, retired librarians, public library trustees, veteran librarians, and new librarians fresh out of school with great ideas and wholesome energies. They cover such topics as poorly equipped school libraries and the need to preserve the school library, a call to action to all librarians to make the shift to new and innovative models of public education, the advancement in information technology and library operations, special libraries, recruitment and the Indiana State Library program, racism in the history of library and information science, and challenges that have plagued librarianship for decades. This collection of poignant essays covers a multiplicity of concerns for the 21st-century Black librarian and embodies compassion and respect for the provision of information, an act that defines librarianship. The essays are personable, inspiring, and thought provoking for all library professionals, regardless of race, class, or gender.
Book Synopsis Understanding African American Rhetoric by : Ronald L. Jackson II
Download or read book Understanding African American Rhetoric written by Ronald L. Jackson II and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an extraordinarily well-balanced collection of essays focused on varied expressions of African American Rhetoric; it also is a critical antidote to a preoccupation with Western Rhetoric as the arbiter of what counts for effective rhetoric. Rather than impose Western terminology on African and African American rhetoric, the essays in this volume seek to illumine rhetoric from within its own cultural expression, thereby creating an understanding grounded in the culture's values. The consequence is a richly detailed and well-researched set of essays. The contribution of African American rhetoric can no longer be rendered invisible through neglect of its tradition. The essays in this volume neither seek to displace Western Rhetoric, nor function as an uncritical paen to Afrocentricity and Africology. This volume is both timely and essential; timely in advancing a better understanding of the richly textured history that is expressed through African American discourse, and essential as a counterpoint to the hegemonic influence of Greek and Roman rhetoric as the origin of rhetorical theory and practice. Written in the spirit of a critical rhetoric, this collection eschews traditional focus on public address and instead offers a rich array of texts, in musical and other forms, that address publics.
Book Synopsis Peace Be Still by : Matthew C. Whitaker
Download or read book Peace Be Still written by Matthew C. Whitaker and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2014-01-01 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise, engaging, and provocative history of African Americans since World War II, Peace Be Still is also nothing less than an alternate history of the United States in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Organizing this history around culture, politics, and resistance, Matthew C. Whitaker takes us from World War II as a galvanizing force for African American activism and the modern civil rights movement to the culmination of generations of struggle in the election of Barack Obama. From the promise of the post–World War II era to the black power movement of the 1960s, the economic and political struggles of the 1970s, and the major ideological realignment of political culture during the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s, this book chronicles a people fighting oppression while fashioning a dynamic culture of artistic and religious expression along with a program of educational and professional advancement. A resurgence of rigid conservative right-wing policies, the politics of poverty, racial profiling, and police brutality are ongoing counterpoints to African Americans rising to political prominence and securing positions once denied them. A history of African Americans for a new generation, Peace Be Still demonstrates how dramatically African American history illuminates the promise, conflicts, contradictions, hopes, and victories that all Americans share.
Book Synopsis Handbook of the American Novel of the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries by : Timo Müller
Download or read book Handbook of the American Novel of the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries written by Timo Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2017-01-11 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing specialization within the discipline of English and American Studies has shifted the focus of scholarly discussion toward theoretical reflection and cultural contexts. These developments have benefitted the discipline in more ways than one, but they have also resulted in a certain neglect of close reading. As a result, students and researchers interested in such material are forced to turn to scholarship from the 1960s and 1970s, much of which relies on dated methodological and ideological presuppositions. The handbook aims to fill this gap by providing new readings of texts that figure prominently in the literature classroom and in scholarly debate − from James’s The Ambassadors to McCarthy’s The Road. These readings do not revert naively to a time “before theory.” Instead, they distil the insights of literary and cultural theory into concise introductions to the historical background, the themes, the formal strategies, and the reception of influential literary texts, and they do so in a jargon-free language accessible to readers on all levels of qualification.

Book excerpt: The Solution is an intentional blueprint and 21st-century handbook designed to help today's African-American community achieve long overdue Unity, Justice, and Repair. Unlike many books tackling such complex subject matter, The Solution is an easy read, carefully crafted to engage the reader with its conversational tone, shocking truths, and bold remedies. This handbook is strategically divided into three focus areas, for optimum effectiveness: Mind-shift, Fact Disclosure, and Solution Action Steps. The purpose of this handbook is to take the struggle of Africans in America past merely documenting our oppression, trauma, and victimization suffered here in America, and provide real-life, practical action steps we as a people can implement today to advance our pursuit of Unity, Justice, and Repair. This may not be the end-all be-all answer for us Africans in America; however, this handbook will provide us a strong foundation and framework to build off of as we commit moving our community forward--by any means necessary.
Book Synopsis Routledge Handbook of Evidence-Based Criminal Justice Practices by : Edelyn Verona
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Evidence-Based Criminal Justice Practices written by Edelyn Verona and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-10-31 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now more than ever, the criminal justice system, and the programs, policies, and practices within it, are subject to increased public scrutiny, due to well-founded concerns over effectiveness, fairness, and potential unintended consequences. One of the best means to address these concerns is to draw upon evidence-based approaches demonstrated to be effective through empirical research, rather than through anecdote, standard practice, or professional experience alone (National Institute of Justice, 2011). The goal of this book is to describe the most useful, actionable, and evidence-based solutions to many of the most pressing questions in the criminal justice system today. Specifically, this edited volume contains brief and accessible summaries of the best available research, alongside detailed descriptions of evidence-based practices, across different areas of the criminal justice system. It is written so that practitioners and researchers alike can use the text as reference tool in their work and in training the new generation of individuals working to improve the system. Researchers and practitioners in many areas of criminal justice – crime prevention, policing, courts (prosecution, defendants, judges), corrections, sanctions, and sentencing – can reference specific chapters in this book to guide their policy and practice decisions. Although theory is a guide for the practices described, the chapters will address practical issues in implementation and action. This book overcomes the limitations of previous criminal justice practice books in that it is written as a practice resource and reference guide and spans practices and policies across different sectors of the criminal justice system – from prevention to policing to sanctions and corrections. Each chapter contains a list of action items, based upon the best available scientific research, that can be implemented in practice to address key issues and long standing challenges in the criminal justice system.
