Critics' Choice Award Border Crossing "Brothas" examines how Black
males form identities, define success, and utilize community-based
pedagogical spaces to cross literal and figurative borders. The
tragic deaths of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Tamir Rice in
Cleveland, and numerous others from Brooklyn, Britain, and Bermuda
whose lives have been taken prematurely suggest that negotiating
race, place, and complex space is a matter of life and death for
Black males. In jurisdictions such as the U.S. and Bermuda, racial
tensions are the palpable and obvious reality, yet the average
citizen has no idea how to sensibly react. This book offers a
reasonable response that pushes readers to account for and draw on
the best of what we know, the core of who we are, and the needs and
histories of those we serve. Drawing on the educational and
socializing experiences of Black males in Bermuda - a beautiful yet
complex island with strong connections to the U.S., England, and
the Caribbean - this book offers educators and leaders new language
for postcolonial possibilities and emancipatory epistemologies
related to Black male identities and success in a global context.
Intriguing findings and fresh frameworks grounded in understandings
of race, class, ability, transnationalism, culture, colonialism,
and the construction/performance of gendered identity emerge in
this book.

Choosing to Teach, Choosing to See: Critical Readings for Those
Entering the Noble Profession of Education provides future and
in-service educators with a collection of articles that explore
various facets of the teaching profession. The readings challenge
traditional perspectives on education, amplify diverse voices and
ideologies, and provide a solid foundation for teachers to connect
with students and support their educational excellence. Over the
course of eight thought-provoking articles, readers learn about
developing camaraderie with students, teaching without fear,
building a caring classroom that supports achievement, and the
challenges of white privilege in educational contexts. Dedicated
readings explore community-based pedagogical spaces, literacy
development of urban poor youth, and more. Designed to help
individuals grow into compassionate, effective, and empowered
educators, Choosing to Teach, Choosing to See is a valuable
resource for courses and programs in K-12 education and educational
leadership. It is also an excellent textbook for teachers
interested in pursuing personal and professional development.
