Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences and perceptions of 10 selected academically successful African American male leaders. In this study, "academic success" was defined as these African American men who attained a master's or postgraduate degree such as a M.D., Ph.D., or J.D. Even though there is bountiful research on the deficiencies in the lives of African American males, it is still unclear what conditions lead African American men to higher educational attainment. The goal of this study was to also add to the deficient, ever-emerging body of research in the area of African American male educational attainment, while providing viable solutions that speak to the plights of African American males from all educational backgrounds and experiences. Using a basic interpretive qualitative inquiry format, the research questions focused on (a) how professional and familial social capital is related to academic success, (b) the participant's perception of the role of resilience in the pursuit of academic attainment, and (c) how does self-efficacy influence academic success for these African American male participants? This research analyzed recurring themes from these participants, who were solicited because they can provide expert testimony on how an African American male can achieve academically. The inquiry produced three recurring themes: Self-Belief and Identity, Social Network and Support, and Faith, Spirituality, and Inspiration. After a comprehensive qualitative analysis of the themes, the following categories emerged: Resilience Over Faulty Mindsets; Competition; Above Mediocrity; Social Network and Support; Family; Positive Influences, Mentors, and Peers; Opportunities; Faith, Spirituality, and Inspiration; Faith in a Higher Power; and Historical Responsibility. All the participants identified Social Network and Support as a major factor in their academic success. Most participants credited a parent, peer, mentor, or teacher as the most influential person that helped them throughout their educational pursuits.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study used the approach of critical ethnography to make a credible, critical inquiry into social, academic and educational phenomena which affect the psychological development, leaning styles, motivation and academic achievement of African American students in general and specifically African American, adolescent males. Through their own voices, this group of adolescent, African American males told what the meaning of schooling was for them and how they interpreted everyday experiences related to schooling. More importantly, how they defined success and achievement in terms of schooling as it relates to life in general. Five adolescent, African American males were selected through purposeful sampling to participate in the study. Data were analyzed in an interactive model through the theoretical framework of the human ecological development, against the research questions and goals of the study. Multiple data sources were used as well as constant comparative analysis to address threats against internal and external validity and reliability. The study made meaning of the two themes which emerged: those themes were in-school factors and self. The construct of self included four categories which were race, motivation, adolescent egocentrism and emotions. Constant comparative analysis was used to qualify the major themes, categories and subcategories. Major findings which emerged from the study included that the adolescents were disengaged from their schooling process and that in-school factors greatly impacted this disengagement. Also important was how early sorting process for African American males begins and that this sorting generally results in resistance which fuels a cycle of negative interactions between the young males and the authoritarian power structure. Proscriptive rather than prescriptive messages relative to the condition of African American, adolescent males emerged from this study.
