Black American Students' Achievement in the Suburbs: Academic Success through Family Engagement


Add your own review!

Overview

This volume reframes the negative national conversation around educational deficits and academic achievement of Black American students. Echoing John Ogbu's Black American Students in an Affluent Suburb (2003), this volume provides positive counterstories of Black students' and parents' engagement and negotiation through elite suburban public school systems in the face of structural and personal marginalization. These stories bring to light the importance of academic achievement and cultural identity, supportive social networks, managing peer socialization, and working with caring, engaging teachers. The volume then offers practical strategies for addressing racial inequalities that can be used by families and school staff to produce lasting positive changes in equity and opportunity, and close the achievement gaps in growing racially and socio-economically diverse school districts.
