Description: "This book - beyond providing educators, parents, and students with a critique of present day educational experiences for those who are the "other" in America, particularly the black male - conceptually integrates queer legal theory, the tenets of critical spirituality, and notions of collaborative activism to construct a blueprint for realizing academic achievement and academic success for all students."--Jacket.
