Review

Perry, Steele, and Hilliard . . . challenge the terms of the current conversation that denies Black students' gifts and they offer models for achieving excellence despite the burdens of racist stigma and stereotype . . . [An] important and powerful book . . . Offers a forceful antidote to the victim-blaming that pervades most policy discussions on Black achievement. --Charles Lawrence, Boston Review"Forget what you think you know about the achievement gap between white and black students. In Young, Gifted and Black, three professors lay out the research that shows what you 'know' is probably wrong." --American School Board Journal"I am awed by the lucidity and careful crafting of these essays. The authors-all scholars of impeccable credentials in their respective fields-capture with unprecedented cogency the real issues surrounding the so-called 'achievement gap.' No one who reads this book can ever suggest that we don't know what to do to promote high achievement for African-American students. The question is, do we really want to do so." --Lisa Delpit, Florida International University, author of Other People's Children "While the authors of the three essays in this thought-provoking volume disagree on many things, all agree that we must have a 'better understanding of what it is we are asking African-American youth to do when we ask them to commit themselves, over time, to academic achievement . . .' The solutions offered by each essay are creative, inspirational, and good old common sense." --Los Angeles Times"In a remarkable essay, . . . Steele takes [a] very common coming-of-age experience and turns it into a hopeful solution . . . In just 22 pages, [Steele] proposes several solutions, as do the other contributors." --Jay Matthews, Washington Post "These three very different essays go a long way toward raising the level of the national discussion about 'achievement gaps.'" --Charles Payne, Duke University

I LOVE this book. My only criticisms would be that 1) the first chapter read more like a collegiate paper or dissertation. Although extremely informative, I was harder to get through than the other two. 2) There was no summation to finalize the book or to tie each of the author's ideas together. 3) There was no suggestion of what's next... e.g. how do we get such instruction enforced, how do we get the knowledge in the hands of legislators and state boards of education. After reading, I had mixed feelings about the knowledge I had acquired from these varied analyses, as they left us with minimum direction.Please note that this criticism does not take away from what the book offers. The research alone is worthy of a 5 star review. Personally, the book provides a great deal of well researched information and data for my ongoing project as well as for my edification as a student of the art of pedagogy of African American students.

Very interesting take on African Americans and education. This book delves into the past, exploring early narratives of education, covers current academic strife, and offers some ideas on what changes need to be made in the world of education. Any urban teacher should read this!

A necessary text for educators!

This is just a fantastic book. I could have done without Steele, but Hilliard and Perry were on point in their analysis of education today.

I loved this book. The book gave a good hypothesis as to why African Americans succeeded in education previously but seem to be struggling in the current environment. One thing that was profound to me was that for so long African Americans and education were tied to freedom and now that education is free, what are we going to tie education to. Great Book!!!!

Great book. Anyone who works in education should read this. I was reading it in work and even got some students to read it!

It was the best book that nI have read in a long time. Very insightful. I recommend it to all teachers.

Super great book and will recommend to all my friend. Wde
