While figures on Black women and girls' degree attainment suggest
that as a group they are achieving in society, the reality is that
their experiences are far from monolithic, that the educational
system from early on and through college imposes barriers and
inequities, pushing many out of school, criminalizing their
behavior, and leading to a high rate of incarceration. The purpose
of this book is to illuminate scholarship on Black women and girls
throughout the educational pipeline. The contributors--all Black
women educators, scholars, and advocates--name the challenges Black
women and girls face while pursuing their education as well as
offer implications and recommendations for practitioners,
policymakers, teachers, and administrators to consider in ensuring
the success of Black women and girls. This book is divided into
four sections, each identifying the barriers Black girls and women
encounter at the stages of their education and offering strategies
to promote their success and agency within and beyond educational
contexts. In Part One, the contributors explore the importance of
mattering for Black girls in terms of redefining success and joy;
centering Black girl literacy pedagogies that encourage them to
thrive; examining how to make STEM more accessible to them; and
recounting how Black girls' emotions and emotional literacy can
either disempower them or promote their sense of agency to navigate
educational contexts. Part Two uncovers the violence directed
toward and the criminalization of Black women and girls, and how
they are situated in educational and justice systems that collude
to fail them. The contributors address incarceration and the
process of rehabilitation and reentry; the outcomes of disciplinary
action in schools on women who pursue college; and describe how the
erasure and disregard of Black women and girls leaves them absent
from the educational policies that deeply affect their lives and
wellbeing. Part Three focuses on how Black women are left to
navigate without resources that could make their collegiate
pathways smoother; covers how hair politics impact their acceptance
in college leadership roles, particularly at HBCUs; illuminates the
importance of social/emotional and mental health for Black
undergraduate women and the lack of adequate resources; and
explores how women with disabilities navigate higher education. The
final part of this book describes transformative approaches to
supporting the educational needs of Black women and girls,
including the use of a politicized ethic of care, intergenerational
love and dialogue, and constructing communities, including digital
environments, to ensure they thrive through their education and
beyond.
