Black Intellectual Thought in Education : W. E. B. Dubois, Anna Julia Cooper and Carter G. Woodson on Education DOC download
9780415641913 English 0415641918 Black Intellectual Thought in Educationcelebrates the exceptional academic contributions of African-American education scholars Anna Julia Cooper, Carter G. Woodson, and Alain Leroy Locke to the causes of social science, education, and democracy in America. By focusing on the lives and projects of these three figures specifically, it offers a powerful counter-narrative to the dominant, established discourse in education and critical social theory--helping to better serve the population that critical theory seeks to advocate. Rather than attempting to "rescue" a few African American scholars from obscurity or marginalization, this powerful volume instead highlights ideas that must be probed and critically examined in order to deal with prevailing contemporary educational issues. Cooper, Woodson, and Locke's history of engagement with race, democracy, education, gender and life is a dynamic, demanding, and authentic narrative for those engaged with these important issues., While critical social theory supports the use of conceptual tools that facilitate in-depth analysis around issues of power, difference, and identity, the canon of scholarship represents almost exclusively white, male theorists. Black Intellectual Thought in Education offers a powerful counter-narrative to this dominant discourse and helps better serve the population that critical theory seeks to advocate. Through close analysis of the work of W.E.B. DuBois, Anna Julia Cooper, and Carter G. Woodson in relation to education specifically, this volume brings African American intellectual contributions to bear on the prevailing problems facing schools and society today. Rather than attempting to "rescue" a few African American scholars from obscurity or marginalization, this powerful volume instead highlights ideas that must be probed and critically examined in order to deal with prevailing contemporary educational issues.
