Despite comprising the largest minority in rural settings, the
literature to date largely subsumes African American rural students
into a broader set of Black and African American students, with a
primarily urban focus. This volume focuses on the higher education
pathways of rural African American students and highlights their
experiences in US colleges and universities. Addressing the fact
that rural students have higher high school graduation rates than
their urban peers but are less likely to take paths towards higher
education, the authors identify research needs, areas of concerns,
and strategies to encourage and sustain greater postsecondary
participation among African Americans from rural settings.
Contributors to the volume address the meaning of race and place,
cultural capital, gender dynamics, gifted education, college
choice, teacher and education leader preparation, campus
programming and the role of Historically Black Colleges and
Universities, with specific reference to African American rural
students, to pin down a clear picture of the barriers and drivers
of their higher education journeys.
