Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An important and powerful book that radically reframes the debates swirling around the academic achievement of AfricanAmerican students (Boston Review)The solutions offered by each essay are creative, inspirational, and good old common sense.' Los Angeles TimesIn 3 separate but allied essays, AfricanAmerican scholars Theresa Perry, Claude Steele, and Asa Hilliard examine the alleged achievement gap between Black and white students. Each author addresses how the unique social and cultural position Black students occupyin a society which often devalues and stereotypes AfricanAmerican identityfundamentally shapes students experience of school and sets up unique obstacles. Young, Gifted and Black provides an understanding of how these forces work, opening the door to practical, powerful methods for promoting high achievement at all levels.In the first piece, Theresa Perry argues that the dilemmas AfricanAmerican students face are rooted in the experience of race and ethnicity in America, making the task of achievement distinctive and difficult.Claude Steele follows up with stunningly clear empirical psychological evidence that when Black students believe they are being judged as members of a stereotyped grouprather than as individualsthey do worse on tests.Finally, Asa Hilliard argues against a variety of false theories and misguided views of AfricanAmerican achievement, sharing examples of real schools, programs, and teachers around the country that allow AfricanAmerican students to achieve at high levels.Now more than ever, Young, Gifted and Black is an eyeopening work that has the power to not only change how we talk and think about AfricanAmerican student achievement but how we view the AfricanAmerican experience as a whole.
