Encyclopedia of African American Education –

Although many books, articles, dissertations, theses, films, and journals have focused totally or in part on aspects of African American education, this encyclopedia is the first reference work to address this topic both historically and in the context of the 21st century. It is by far the most comprehensive encyclopedia on the subject, and it will have tremendous utility for a wide variety of users. Of course, librarians in academic as well as public libraries will use it as a primary reference guide available to individuals interested in education generally and African American education in particular. Scholars of education will find the topics in the encyclopedia of value in their work. Students—undergraduate and graduate—will find the volumes useful in education courses and in other social science courses. In addition, teachers at all levels should find much of value to them as they seek to facilitate the best possible teaching/learning process for their students—regardless of their racial backgrounds.
