Beskrivning
Acting as a bridge between the academic and policymaking communities, Young, Gifted and Missing sets the stage for addressing critical issues around why African American men are absent in the STEM disciplines. The authors track the experiences of African American male students in STEM at every level of the educational system in order to produce successful models of achievement. The number of African American males who enroll in STEM degree programs as opposed to the lower numbers that ultimately graduate portends poorly for U.S. communities and democracy. The road to economic success and global participation requires a rich, educated community that must include African American males. There is a state of urgency to address this critical challenge. Action must happen now. An educated public, not just for some, but one for all is a must. Graduate students in STEM, education, and business disciplines, as well as executive leadership in education, corporate and non-profit entities stand to benefit from reading this volume. Lastly, those looking to research the successes of African American males in STEM disciplines would find this book purposeful.

Recensioner i media

Black males, throughout history, have been at the forefront of innovation, creativity, and social justice transformative moments; they have also been viewed as a threat, violent, and ill-prepared for academic success. This well researched text carefully, systematically, and incrementally lays the foundation for the essential investment in Black males, particularly young black males / students, to ensure they are on the path to success through role models and teachers that look like them (and typically can empathize), strengthen the family and community nucleus to have the agency and access to resources to level the educational playing field of Black male young, and to be the cheerleaders for these precious minds that you too can be success, you matter, and you are capable as gifted, talented, respected black male youth. This edited volume is well suited to challenge educators, policymakers, elected officials, funding entities and many other audiences to prioritize the education of Black male youth (Black children in general) to ensure there is equity, inclusion and representation.
