This book explores the unique experiences of African-born educators
and students in North American K-12 classrooms, as well as those of
education faculty and administrators. It identifies the conflicting
attributes that African-born educators and students bring into
American schools and the challenges of working in linguistically,
racially and culturally regulated educational spaces. The collected
essays examine how attributes assigned to immigrant teachers by the
host community of students, colleagues and administrators can serve
both as conduits and deterrents for effective teaching. In all,
Reprocessing Race, Language and Ability uncovers the existence of
unavoidable - though not insurmountable - racial, cultural and
linguistic dissonance when African and western cultures come in
contact.
