Educating Black Males: Critical Lessons in Schooling, Community,
and Power offers insights into how we can create more effective and
empowering schools and classrooms for Black males. In addition, it
examines the larger social reality of American African males and
analyzes theoretical contexts of educational theory and practice in
alternative education programs and crisis intervention strategies
for Black males. It promotes strategies for enhancement of
self-esteem and motivation for learning in Black males, thereby
analyzing power relations in the classrooms, schools, and
community. Educating Black Males is designed as a resource for
those concerned with helping American African males to break free
from and defy negative stereotypes and fatalistic imaging.
"It did not take Hopkins' project to convince me that the state
of Black males is in crisis, but I had heretofore seen the proposal
for all male academies as alternative education. Thanks to this
book I now perceive the work this project describes as crisis
intervention designed to promote self-esteem and motivation to
learn.
"The author is thorough in his presentation of the history of
immersion schools. Furthermore, his own first-hand experiences
teaching at the Malcolm X Academy provides him with an insider's
lens. Hopkins does not attempt to show a causal relation, but
rather through in-depth interviewing procedures with students,
parents, and school personnel at all levels, he explores the
processes by which young Black males in the immersion schools under
study learn agency amidst social structures that have tended to
count them out. There is much to like about this book". -- Diane
