Situating the African American learning experience within the
stream of historic enslavement and hundreds of years of
institutionalized racism, this timely book introduces antiracist
foundations for teaching in the 21st century. The authors take a
holistic approach that uses Afrocentricity to identify and address
critical omissions and distortions in school curricula. Drawing on
empirical findings from a high-performing 100% African American
school, they identify what teachers and students recognize as
successful features of the schools' approach, including a unique
learning environment, support systems, spiritual affirmations,
evidences of Black education, a reframing of Afrocentricity, and
education that promotes positive Black identity. This much-needed
book demonstrates the healing power of education; provides evidence
of social, emotional, and psychological transformation within the
learning experience; and frames education as a tool for
liberation.Book Features: Offers a clear chronological analysis of
Black education in the United States and across the Diaspora.
Includes the perceptions and experiences of students and teachers
at a successful Afrocentric school. Provides the tools needed to
teach multicultural histories in an antiracist way. Examines the
benefits of Afrocentric curricula and the role of corrective
history in promoting positive Black identity. Explores the
intersections of precolonial history, student achievement, and
Afrocentric education.
