Summary: | "This book examines the experiences of a cohort of 16 Black male math majors. It amplifies the participants' voices to chronicle their persistence in the major. Using Black masculinity and critical race theory, the author employs an asset-based approach to tell a captivating story about this cohort within a racially affirming learning community. This book showcases the nation's top producer of Black male math majors, extends the knowledge base regarding HBCUs' multigenerational legacy of success, and makes a significant contribution to the growing body of discipline-based education research. In so doing, the author provides recommendations for families, educators, policymakers, and researchers to improve Black boys' and men's mathematics achievement outcomes"-- |
