Description: This text asks the central question, "How can an understanding of African American culture and socioeconomic factors create a more balanced conceptualization of the child at risk of being unable to succeed in the mainstream?" (Preface) It is divided into two portions: the African American historical context for potential upward mobility comprises the first part, while the education of African American children in the context of such culture comprises the second.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. [221]-226) and index.
