The Brother Code: What is the role of manhood and masculinity in
the lives of African American males in college? How do manhood
norms influence decisions within and beyond college? How might
mothers and fathers differentially affect manhood and masculinity
in their sons? What are African American's men unique ways of
knowing themselves and their surroundings? The Brother Code:
Manhood and Masculinity among African American Men in College
situates itself at the intersection of higher education and
cultural studies to address these questions and more. Primarily,
this book offers colleges and universities a penetrative gaze into
a complex web of identities-the manhood of African American males
in college. Yet the book also seizes a rare opportunity in higher
education research to review six historical eras of African
American manhood as well as the troublesome relationship between
African American males and education in general. This knowledge is
important for understanding all aspects of African American male
participation in college, including enrolment, retention,
curricular, and co-curricular involvement. Based on an empirical
study, the data in this book emerged from one-on-one interviews in
which 24 African American males enrolled in 12 colleges discussed
how manhood matters in their social and college lives. The aim is
to help unearth the marginalised topics of manhood, gender, and
masculinity in males generally but, more specifically among African
American males, a marginalised student group in education. Using an
interdisciplinary approach, the book draws upon literature in
history, African American studies, gender studies, sociology,
cultural studies, psychology, and anthropology.
