Critical Race and Education for Black Males: When Pretty Boys
Become Men is not another boring academic book full of complex
theories and jargon that only people who have earned a doctoral
degree can understand. It is a series of narratives based on the
author's experiences as a Black male from the third grade through
earning his PhD in Policy Studies in Urban Education. Each chapter
illustrates how race, racism, and gender influenced Dr. Vernon C.
Lindsay's upbringing in Chicago, Illinois, and the south suburbs.
In vivid detail, he provides insight to his life as a preacher's
kid, the struggle in searching for an authentic vision of himself,
and how school suspensions, detentions, and other infractions
impacted the process to realize his full potential. Critical Race
and Education for Black Males: When Pretty Boys Become Men is
written in a format conducive to students and teachers. It
strategically uses language that makes the material relatable to
Black males and practical for educators who desire to create
positive relationships with their students. Critical Race and
Education for Black Males is designed for courses that reflect the
following themes: critical race theory in education; African
Americans and education; introduction to urban education; social
theory in educational foundations; critical pedagogy; gender,
difference, and curriculum; and teaching and learning in the

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.
