Abstract

Educating Black Males in the 21st Century South: Tunnel Vision? offers rich accounts of the lived experiences of Black men in the South, spanning from childhood to adulthood. Backed by historical accounts and research, the authors provide a comprehensive perspective of challenges that have led to a persistent educational and societal crisis. This book illuminates systems of past oppression, unveils the truths of Black boys and men whose lives have been overshadowed by stereotypes and biases, and shares breakthrough strategies for countering such challenges and effectively reaching Black males as students to empower them to achieve more than society has allowed them to visualize for themselves.
