Engaging the African Diaspora in K-12 Education (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

Engaging the African Diaspora in K-12 Education provides in-service and pre-service teachers with valuable information and resources related to African diaspora communities in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. This unique anthology fills an important gap in current pedagogical and curricular publications by combining the writings of leading scholars of the African diaspora with practical, hands-on tips and resources from middle and high school teachers and administrators. Drawing on cutting-edge academic scholarship, chapters of the book address topics such as the transatlantic slave trade, slavery in Latin America, the Haitian Revolution, the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, Pan-Africanism, Black German Studies, and literature and art by Black women in the diaspora. In addition, Engaging the African Diaspora in K-12 Education includes chapters on anti-racist education, use of the performing arts to teach African American history, and critical reflections by several middle and high school teachers on practices they have adopted to increase their students' exposure to the African diaspora in the classroom.

"The search for new educational futurities for young learners today is growing in the intensity of scholarly debates. Engaging the African Diaspora in K-12 Education offers new critical perspectives on teaching and learning about the African diaspora. The book is a much-needed addition to this growing scholarship on Black and African education. It provides scholarly and practical insights from middle and high school teachers, researchers, and school administrators. The material covered is geographically broad, examining historical and contemporary issues of relevance to African diaspora communities in the Americas and Europe. A valuable resource for educators and school administrators, this book is a welcome addition to scholarship on the African diaspora in the field of education. This book is highly recommended."-George J.
