Beskrivning

Drawing from Louis Farrakhan’s decades of teaching on education and leadership this volume brings his ideas into the educational leadership discourse. It explores through a critical framework the purpose of education disclosing how those in powerful positions have shaped educational policy to use schools and universities for their benefit. The book inspires educational leaders to serve the best interest of those under their leadership. In a spiritual tone it discusses the purpose of education, leadership as love, servant leadership, transformative leadership, and futuristic leadership. In the 21st century, leadership for social justice has become a major theme and in this volume Louis Farrakhan’s many years of working for equal justice on behalf of historically underserved groups is applied to the practice of educational leadership in K-12 and higher education.

Recensioner i media

Abul Pitre’s Educational Leadership and Louis Farrakhan, examines the muliti-dimensional area of educational leadership in very thorough and penetrating ways. Pitre is both cautious and daring as he painstakingly takes the reader through the nuanced literature. He knows that it is Minister Louis Farrakhan whose ideas about educational leadership he is sharing with the academic world. I, for one, am very happy that he has done so.Minister Farrakhan’s body of work as a leader, teacher and scholar is vast. Moreover, the evidence of the effectiveness of his educational leadership is evidenced in the success and longevity of the Nation of Islam’s own programs. As I read Abul Pitre’s manuscript, I found myself highlighting almost every line. This was particularly so in Chapter 5 where I felt Pitre’s writing most vividly captured the spirit of Minister Farrakhan’s educational leadership and vision.
