This edited book reflects a much needed area of scholarship as the
voices of African American (AA) or Black students defined by
various labels such as learning disability, blindness/visual
impairment, cognitive development, speech or language impairment,
and hearing impairment are rare within the scholarly literature.
Students tagged with those identifiers within the Pk-20 academic
system have not only been ignored, and discounted, but have also
had their learning framed from a deficit perspective rather than a
strength-based perspective. Moreover, it was uncommon to hear first
person narratives about how AA students have understood their
positions within the general education and special education
systems. Therefore, with a pervasive lack of knowledge when it
comes to understanding the experiences of AA with disabilities,
this book describes personal experiences, and challenges the idea
that AA students with disabilities are substandard. While this book
will emphasize successful narratives, it will also provide
counter-narratives to demystify the myth that those with
disabilities cannot succeed or obtain terminal degrees. Overall,
this edited book is a much needed contribution to the scholarly
literature and may help teachers across a wide array of academic
disciplines in meeting the academic and social needs of AA students
with disabilities.
