Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do Blacks underperform in school? Researchers continue to pursue this question with vigor not only because Blacks currently lag behind Whites on a wide variety of educational indices but because the closing of the Black-White achievement gap has slowed and by some measures reversed during the last quarter of the 20th century. The social implications of the persistent educational 'gap' between Blacks and Whites are substantial. Black people's experience with poor school achievement and equally poor access to postsecondary education reduces their probability for achieving competitive economic and social rewards and are inconsistent with repeated evidence that Black people articulate high aspirations for their own educational and social mobility. Despite the social needs that press us towards making better sense of 'the gap,' we are, nevertheless, limited in our understanding of how race operates to affect Black students' educational experiences and outcomes. In Beyond Acting White we contend with one of the most oft cited explanations for Black underachievement; the notion that Blacks are culturally opposed to 'acting White' and, therefore, culturally opposed to succeeding in school. Our book uses the 'acting White' hypothesis as the point of departure in order to explore and evaluate how and under what conditions Black culture and identity are implicated in our understanding of why Black students continue to lag behind their White peers in educational achievement and attainment. Beyond Acting White provides a response to the growing call that we more precisely situate how race, its representations, intersectionalities, and context specific contingencies help us make better sense of the Black-White achievement gap.

Book excerpt: This study was designed to investigate the perceptions of a group of former African American students of their former teachers prior to and after the desegregation of schools in Columbus, Georgia. The theoretical framework for this study incorporated ideas from interpersonal communication and sociocultural theory. The major research question was, In what ways did African American students who attended segregated schools in Columbus, Georgia and later transferred to desegregated schools, perceive how these experiences affected their subsequent academic and life accomplishments? Data were collected from interview responses from ten participants, and a number of primary and secondary sources, such as school annual history reports, school yearbooks, superintendents' reports, and articles from a Black newspaper (Columbus Times) and a White newspaper (Columbus Enquirer). The participants for this study consisted of four female and three male African American former students of varying ages, educational levels, and socio-economic status who attended segregated schools in Columbus, Georgia between 1954-1970, and in 1971 and beyond attended a desegregated school. In addition, a former administrator, counselor, and teacher were interviewed. The data collected were subjected to descriptive and interpretative analysis. This study produced eight major findings; four were associated with segregated schooling and four related to desegregated schooling. The segregated schooling findings included: (1) the former students overwhelmingly perceived their Black teachers in segregated schools positively due to their caring, disciplinary, and family oriented traits; (2) the majority of the former students thought their Black teachers in segregated schools perceived them as intellectually capable; (3) the former students believed their Black teachers in segregated schools motivated them to succeed academically; and (4) the impact on the former students' life experiences in segregated schools was related to them feeling motivated. The four findings related to desegregated schooling included: (5) the former students perceived their White teachers in desegregated schools as uncaring and unwelcoming; (6) the former students thought their White teachers in desegregated schools considered them as having low intelligence; (7) the former students felt lost in the desegregated schools; and (8) the experiences with White teachers in desegregated schools negatively affected aspects of the former students' personal and professional life experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " The test score gap between blacks and whites—on vocabulary, reading, and math tests, as well as on tests that claim to measure scholastic aptitude and intelligence--is large enough to have far-reaching social and economic consequences. In their introduction to this book, Christopher Jencks and Meredith Phillips argue that eliminating the disparity would dramatically reduce economic and educational inequality between blacks and whites. Indeed, they think that closing the gap would do more to promote racial equality than any other strategy now under serious discussion. The book offers a comprehensive look at the factors that contribute to the test score gap and discusses options for substantially reducing it. Although significant attempts have been made over the past three decades to shrink the test score gap, including increased funding for predominantly black schools, desegregation of southern schools, and programs to alleviate poverty, the median black American still scores below 75 percent of American whites on most standardized tests. The book brings together recent evidence on some of the most controversial and puzzling aspects of the test score debate, including the role of test bias, heredity, and family background. It also looks at how and why the gap has changed over the past generation, reviews the educational, psychological, and cultural explanations for the gap, and analyzes its educational and economic consequences. The authors demonstrate that traditional explanations account for only a small part of the black-white test score gap. They argue that this is partly because traditional explanations have put too much emphasis on racial disparities in economic resources, both in homes and in schools, and on demographic factors like family structure. They say that successful theories will put more emphasis on psychological and cultural factors, such as the way black and white parents teach their children to deal with things they do not know or understand, and the way black and white children respond to the same classroom experiences. Finally, they call for large-scale experiments to determine the effects of schools' racial mix, class size, ability grouping, and other policies. In addition to the editors, the contributors include Claude Steele, Ronald Ferguson, William G. Bowen, Philip Cook, and William Julius Wilson. "
