Are you interested in working with African-American male students
to help them succeed beyond the classroom? If so, this book is for
you! Capoeira is a martial art created by enslaved Africans in
Brazil, and it combines self-defense tactics with dance movements,
percussion instruments, freedom songs, sacred rituals, acrobatic
maneuvers, and communal philosophies. Through this
highly-anticipated follow-up book to Critical Race and Education
for Black Males: When Pretty Boys Become Men, Vernon C. Lindsay
illustrates how Capoeira can serve as a resource to encourage
positive self-awareness, leadership, and social justice activism
among African-American males. This book represents thirteen years
of Dr. Lindsay's experiences in Capoeira and illustrates how a
physical education class evolved into an after-school program
aligned with a culturally responsive curriculum. Through research
collected at a Chicago elementary school, Capoeira, Black Males,
and Social Justice: A Gym Class Transformed shows how teachers can
use culturally responsive curricular methods to engage
African-American male students in meaningful lessons,
conversations, and actions. This book is a must-read for teachers
and administrators in urban school settings. It demonstrates the
potential impact of schools in an era where race, gender,
sexuality, economic status, and age continue to influence
opportunities. Courses with the following themes will benefit from
this book: critical race theory in education; African Americans and
schooling; introduction to urban education; race, sports, and
extracurricular programs; critical pedagogy; gender, difference,
and curriculum; teaching and learning in the multicultural,
multilingual classroom.
