Reviews

""...a well-researched exegesis of the various trajectories people of African descent have taken (and been forced to take) in order to become members of the American mathematical community throughout the late 20th century ... Beyond Banneker is an important addition to the conversation about diversity and broadening participation in the sciences."" - MAA Reviews ""If you are looking for a book that disrupts dominant discourses of the 'White male math myth' and 'African American inferiority,' this is the book for you ... This powerful yet accessible book names oppressive structures and celebrates the brilliance of Black mathematicians."" - Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School ""Beyond Banneker adds to a little-known piece of American history."" - CHOICE
