The first-ever study of African American giftedness at the
collegiate level, focusing on two extraordinary case studies. At a
time when so many studies of African American students focus on the
factors of failure, Academically Gifted African American Male
College Students fills a conspicuous void in the research
literature on post-secondary education by focusing on success. Like
no other work before it, this remarkable study goes deep inside the
experiences of academically gifted African American men who
successfully navigate their way through rigorous college-level
programs. At the heart of the unique and long overdue work are two
real-life stories of African American male students: one at a
Historically Black College and University (HBCU) and the other at a
Traditionally White Institution (TWI). In presenting, comparing,
and contrasting these two cases, the book identifies a number of
personal characteristics and institutional approaches driving their
notable achievements. The result is a guidebook both for gifted
African American male students and for the institutions looking to
strengthen their support for them—particularly in science,
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
