Produktbeschreibung
This study examines African American educational attitudes and ideologies in the 19th century through the lives and work of African American women. Texts wrtten by Frances Jackson Coppin and Hallie Quinn Brown (Reminiscences of School Life and Hints on Teaching and Bits and Odds, respectively) are examined, and connections are made between the ideologies of Coppin and Brown and the ideas and practices of influential African American literacy workers of the 20th and 21st centuries. Copppin and Brown's literacy work centered on the ideology of racial uplift, but was extended,and enacted, to include racial uplift thourgh racial pride and racial responsibility. These two women were fearless and are often overlooked for the significant role they played in moving African American literacy forward following Slavery. Their ideologies are ones that modern researchers, teachers, and other literacy workers, must reclaim and enact if we hope to continue the work of uplifting not only AfricanAmerican students, but also all students who enter our classrooms.
