Focusing on pre-K-12 schools, higher education, and social
influences, this book examines the following question: What
systemic set of strategies is necessary to improve the conditions
for African Americans throughout the educational
pipeline?Comprehensive in its approach to representing the
educational experiences of African Americans over the life course,
this book fills an important gap in the literature. - James Earl
Davis, coeditor of African American Males in School and Society:
Practices and Policies for Effective EducationJerlando F. L.
Jackson accomplishes the difficult task of helping us understand
the complexities involved in getting the African American student
from school to the workplace. While seemingly simple, the
multiplicity of factors which emerge and impact the educational
process must be understood by researchers, policy makers, and
educators as we all become partners in the process to improve the
conditions and experiences of African Americans in education.
Jackson provides us with manageable ways to learn and begin to
understand the systemic implications of this process in his book. -
Barbara M. Pulliam, Superintendent, Clayton County Schools,
Jonesboro, GeorgiaThis volume provides an important window to the
pipeline problem. It also offers some viable solutions. If we do
the work it challenges us to do, then we hope that the next
generation will have no need for a book that calls for
strengthening the pipeline. - from the Foreword by Gloria
Ladson-BillingsThis book is a must read for all policy agents
responsible for making decisions in reference to African Americans
in education and will surely emerge as the seminal piece on this
topic. - Congresswoman Gwendolynne S. Moore, 4th District of
Wisconsin.
