Produktbeschreibung
Freedom Fighters: Struggles Instituting Black History in K-12 Education captures the ongoing struggle to implement multicultural curricula in schools. It details how African American students, caught in the vicious cycle of territorial fights, low test scores, and placed at risk for dropping out of school, can experience self-transformation through the study of Black History. Drawing from the theoretical constructs found in Afrocentric education, critical pedagogy, and multicultural education, this book introduces a new concept for educating African American students. Scholars and leaders, such as Elijah Muhammad, Carter G. Woodson, Paulo Freire, James Banks, and others, provide compelling arguments that cogently describe the challenge of educating African American students for liberation. The revised first edition features significant updates to the introduction, foreword, and preface to better contextualize the material in contemporary settings and reflect recent events. Readers discover compelling reasons why students, educators, and prospective educators need to be introduced to Black history. Featuring real-world examples, Freedom Fighters is an ideal book for courses on the foundations of education, multicultural education, and critical pedagogy, among others.
