Advancing Black Male Student Success from Preschool Through Ph.D. (Hardcover)

Advancing Black Male Student Success presents a comprehensive portrait of black male students at every stage in the U.S. education system: Preschool and Kindergarten; elementary, middle and high schools; community colleges and four-year postsecondary institutions; and master's and doctoral programs. Each chapter is a synthesis of existing research on experience, educational outcomes, and persistent inequalities at each pipeline point. Throughout the book, data are included to provide statistical portraits of the status of black boys and men. Authors include, in each chapter, forward-thinking recommendations for education policy, research and practice. Most published scholarship on Black male students blames them and their families for their failures in school. This literature is replete with hopeless, pathological portrayals, of this population. Through this deficit thinking and resultant practices, black boys and men have continually experienced disparate outcomes. This book departs from prior scholarship in that the editors and authors argue that much is done to black male students, which explains their troubled status in U.S. education. In addition to the editors' expertise on the topic, the authorship cast includes several scholars who are among the most respected thought leaders on black male students in education.
