| Book Description | Critical Race and Education for Black Males: When Pretty Boys Become Men is not another boring academic book full of complex theories and jargon that only people who have earned a doctoral degree can understand. It is a series of narratives based on the author's experiences as a Black male from the third grade through earning his PhD in Policy Studies in Urban Education. Each chapter illustrates how race, racism, and gender influenced Dr. Vernon C. Lindsay's upbringing in Chicago, Illinois, and the south suburbs. In vivid detail, he provides insight to his life as a preacher's kid, the struggle in searching for an authentic vision of himself, and how school suspensions, detentions, and other infractions impacted the process to realize his full potential. Critical Race and Education for Black Males: When Pretty Boys Become Men is written in a format conducive to students and teachers. It strategically uses language that makes the material relatable to Black males and practical for educators who desire to create positive relationships with their students. Critical Race and Education for Black Males is designed for courses that reflect the following themes: critical race theory in education; African Americans and education; introduction to urban education; social theory in educational foundations; critical pedagogy; gender, difference, and curriculum; and teaching and learning in the multicultural, multilingual classroom. |
| Editorial Review | "Critical Race Education for Black Males breathes new life into the Critical Race Theory and education movement by offering a fresh and innovative approach to critically examining the experiences of African American males in urban and suburban public schools. Lindsay's autobiographical, intersectional analysis brings issues of race, gender, class, and color together in a way that illuminates the complexities of Black males' experiences in schools. This is a very important work." -Marvin Lynn, PhD, Dean and Professor, Graduate School of Education, Portland State University "Dr. Vernon C. Lindsay is fearless in his reflections on his life journey. From his meditations we are able to discover what it means to have love in the face of white supremacy. A must-read for those who struggle, but who are also committed to finding light in these dark times. I remain humbly indebted to his work." -David Stovall, PhD, Professor of African-American Studies and Educational Policy Studies, University of Illinois-Chicago |
