Description: SAGE Handbook of African American Education, Hardcover by Tillman, Linda C. (EDT), ISBN 1412937434, ISBN-13 9781412937436, Brand New, Free shipping in the US The compendium of articles on African-American education is much more than a quick-reference handbook. The articles herein address pedagogical concerns from an African-American perspective; however they are also applicable to education in general. Tillman (education, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) organizes the subject by the topics of history of education, the importance of teacher training, the early grades, higher education, theories on African-American participation in education, and participation in shaping educational policy. Within these are essays on specific issues such as, the effects of desegregation, combating latent (and overt) racism, the education of women, especially in graduate school, and the concomitant issue of attaining positions of leadership within university faculty. A thread running through all of these is the need for Black history and culture to be studied, particularly the former. Comments on the gaining and losing of rights over the years in several of the essays stress the complacency of many who assume that because there are laws mandating equal rights, that equality of education is now assured. This will be of interest to anyone involved in education. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
