Product Description
For many years to come, race will continue to be a source of controversy and conflict in American society. For many of us it will continue to shape where we live, pray, go to school, and socialize. We cannot simply wish away the existence of race or racism, but we can take steps to lessen the ways in which the categories trap and confine us. Educators, who should be committed to helping young people realize their intellectual potential as they make their way toward adulthood, have a responsibility to help them find ways to expand identities related to race so that they can experience the fullest possibility of all that they may become. In this brutally honest—yet ultimately hopeful— book Pedro Noguera examines themany facets ofracein schools and society and reveals what it will take toimprove outcomes for all students. From achievementgaps toimmigration, Noguera offers a rich and compellingpicture ofa complexissue that affects all of us.

Once again Noguera is at his best in giving the readers something powerful to think about. I recommend this book to everyone who is serious about making a difference in the lives of Black males.
