Leading African American scholars examine the often neglected
cultural context in research and policy development in African
American higher education in this collection of essays. Past
research has most often been conducted by individuals unfamiliar
with the historical and cultural considerations of specific ethnic
groups. Therefore, the outcomes of research and the development of
programs have been based on deficit models, that is, what is wrong
with African Americans, or what they cannot achieve. The book
examines the questions; what is the relationship between African
Americans' culture and experiences, and how should their culture be
integrated into research and practice? How do African Americans'
intra- and interrelations differ in higher education? How does
understanding African American culture as it relates to higher
education research enhance policy-making and practice? What role do
HBUCs play in African Americans' participation in higher education?
What are the policy and practice implications of past and current
research? Scholars and practitioners of education, culture, and
race relations will find this collection informative and
interesting.
