Over the course of ten years, this extensive qualitative study
focused on the academic resilience phenomenon. The research delves
into the educational resilience experiences of fifty low
socioeconomic students of color from a variety of racial and ethnic
backgrounds. In addition to chronicling specific protective factors
and processes active in the students' lives, several symbiotic
relationships between groups of protective factors are documented
and explored. A Resilience Cycle theory, which was chronicled in
previous works of the authors, is used as a framework to view
essential elements of the students' academic success. Ultimately,
the data and findings are used to propose practical suggestions for
promoting academic resilience in at-risk youth nationwide.
Furthermore, because one author specializes in education and the
other in psychology, both of these disciplines are brought to bear
on this crucial and understudied topic.
