The Resegregation of Schools - Education and Race in the Twenty-First Century (Paperback): Jamel K Donnor, Adrienne Dixson The Resegregation of Schools - Education and Race in the Twenty-First Century (Paperback)

Access to a quality education remains the primary mechanism for improving one's life chances in the United States, and for children of color, a "good education" is particularly linked to their individual and collective well-being. Despite the popular perception that America is in a "post-racial" epoch, opportunities to access quality learning environments and human development resources remain determined according to race, class, gender, and ability. Taking a more nuanced approach to race and the resegregation of the American school system, this volume examines how and why the education quality for the majority of students of color in America remains fundamentally unequal.

Race, Ethnography and Education (Hardcover): Rodney Hopson, Adrienne Dixson Race, Ethnography and Education (Hardcover)
Rodney Hopson, Adrienne Dixson
R4,133 Discovery Miles 41 330 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book focuses on race and ethnography, and in particular, it addresses two significant issues. Firstly, leading thinkers and emerging scholars in the field explicate the complicated nature of race intersections, theories, and meanings in educational ethnography. The ethnographic accounts consider schooling, which is then extended to larger educational settings, bound by unique and peculiar histories and locations. By amalgamating this selection of papers into one issue, the book both challenges the effects of educational histories, policies and practices, by interrogating theories and meanings of race, and positions race and racism in ethnography with the hope of presenting new applications and developments in ethnographic methodologies, theories, and practices. The volume then develops the conversation by helping to build scholarship in understanding race meanings, intersections and theories in educational and social sciences. With the escalating attention given to the study of race scholarship in recent years, there is still considerable information that scholars in the field need to know about how ethnographers and ethnography, from diverse comparative and international schools and educational settings, respond to racialized and racist practices, while challenging and developing theories about race and racism in diverse global terrains and locations. This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnography and Education.

Strong Black Girls - Reclaiming Schools in Their Own Image (Hardcover): Danielle Apugo, Lynnette Mawhinney, Afiya Mbilishaka Strong Black Girls - Reclaiming Schools in Their Own Image (Hardcover)

R2,808 Discovery Miles 28 080 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Strong Black Girls lays bare the harm Black women and girls are expected to overcome in order to receive an education in America. It captures the routinely muffled voices and experiences of these students through storytelling, essays, letters, and poetry. The authors make clear that the strength of Black women and girls should not merely be defined as the ability to survive racism, abuse, and violence. Readers will also see resistance and resilience emerge through the central themes that shape these reflective, coming-of-age narratives. Each chapter is punctuated by discussion questions that extend the conversation around the everyday realities of navigating K-12 schools, such as sexuality, intergenerational influence, self-love, anger, leadership, aesthetic trauma (hair and body image), erasure, rejection, and unfiltered Black girlhood. Strong Black Girls is essential reading for everyone tasked with teaching, mentoring, programming, and policymaking for Black females in all public institutions.Book Features: A spotlight on the invisible barriers impacting Black girls' educational trajectories. A survey of the intersectional notions of strength and Black femininity within the context of K-12 schooling. Narrative therapy through unpacking system stories of oppression and triumph. Insights for building skills and tools to make substantial and lasting change in schools.
