Published for the American Educational Research Association by
Routledge. This volume presents the findings and recommendations of
the American Educational Research Association's (AERA) Commission
on Research in Black Education (CORIBE) and offers new directions
for research and practice. By commissioning an independent group of
scholars of diverse perspectives and voices to investigate major
issues hindering the education of Black people in the U.S., other
Diaspora contexts, and Africa, the AERA sought to place issues of
Black education and research practice in the forefront of the
agenda of the scholarly community. An unprecedented critical
challenge to orthodox thinking, this book makes an epistemological
break with mainstream scholarship. Contributors present research on
proven solutions--best practices--that prepare Black students and
others to achieve at high levels of academic excellence and to be
agents of their own socioeconomic and cultural transformation.
These analyses and empirical findings also link the crisis in Black
education to embedded ideological biases in research and the system
of thought that often justifies the abject state of Black
education. Written for both a scholarly and a general audience,
this book demonstrates a transformative role for research and a
positive role for culture in learning, in the academy, and in
community and cross-national contexts. Volume editor Joyce E. King
is the Benjamin E. Mays Endowed Chair of Urban Teaching, Learning
and Leadership at Georgia State University and was chair of CORIBE.
