The field of public administration holds social equity and
inclusiveness as a core administrative value, but African American
voices in the discourse about the theory and practice of public
administration have been ignored all too often. This book is the
first to formally chronicle the evolution of the field of public
administration in the United States through desegregation, equal
opportunity, affirmative action, diversity/multiculturalism, and
presumptions about a "post-racial" society, incorporating African
American contributions to public policy-making and implementation
at every stage. As long as the "post-racial" America myth continues
to influence the design, development, and implementation of public
policies, African American perspectives need to be reconsidered as
a legitimate and important focus of public administration's
theoretical and practical framework. Focusing on the lives and
profound contributions of several unsung but seminal African
American public administrators, accompanied by personal accounts of
perseverance and detailed descriptions of unique approaches used
for social change, this book demonstrates the intellectual,
academic, and pragmatic evolution of these leaders as they built
careers in their discipline and blazed the trail for those to come.
Authors Beverly C. Edmond and Ron W. Finnell demonstrate how these
pioneers extended the very definition of the enterprise of public
administration through their movements between the intersecting
worlds of academia, practice, social movements, and community
activism. Trailblazing African American Public Administrators
serves as a timely practical, social, and historical teaching text
for graduate and undergraduate courses in Public Administration,
Public Management, Public Affairs, and Human Resource Management.
