Harper, Shaun R., 1975- (Added Author). Wood, J. Luke, 1982- (Added Author).

Summary: Advancing Black Male Student Success From Preschool Through Ph. D. pushes against hopeless notions of Black male student achievement. This book presents a comprehensive portrait of Black male students at every stage in the U.S. education system, from preschool through doctoral degree attainment. Each chapter is a synthesis of existing research on experiences, educational outcomes, and persistent inequities at a particular pipeline point and concludes with forward-thinking recommendations for education policy and practice. In addition to Harper and Wood, the authorship cast includes several scholars who are among the most respected experts on Black boys and men in education.
