Unlike any text to date, this revolutionary study surveys Black
research and literature to determine the processes formal education
uses to dehumanize Black students. This is a socio-historical
analysis of the Black Flame trilogy (BFT), W. E. B. Du Bois's
unparalleled, thirty-year study of Atlanta, Georgia from Black
Reconstruction (1860 - 1880) to 1956. W.E.B. Du Bois is one of the
most prescient sociologists of the twentieth century in his
research of Black people in America. These ground-breaking novels
establish racialization, colonization, and globalization as
processes that continue to dehumanize Black students in education.
Africana critical theory (ACT), critical race theory (CRT), and
Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome (PTSS) privilege the research, voice,
and experiences of Blacks. These theoretical frames speak to the
pain and effects of the impact of unchecked, gross, voyeuristic
violence that helps define the White supremacist patriarchal
culture in which we live. Straight forward and direct, this book
show how the processes of dehumanization contribute to the legacy
of trauma White supremacy exacts upon Black people and their
humanity. This study is aimed at highlighting the stark disparities
in Black and White education over times. This book offers a candid
look at how the myth of Black inferiority and the metaphor of the
achievement gap describe conscious economic deprivation, mob
violence and intimidation, and White supremacist curricula, yet
continues to imply long-standing cultural notion of Blacks
intellectual inferiority. This research is offered to help mitigate
the multigenerational education trauma Blacks have experienced
since Reconstruction to envision a educational system that is
efficacious and socially just in the distribution of resources,
expanding diversity in curricula, and exposing pedagogical biases
that traumatize not only Black people but all people.
