This work is the first to examine the educational philosophy of Elijah Muhammad, the founder of the Nation of Islam and a pivotal leader in America's history. This timely book outlines Elijah Muhammad's educational ideas in relation to critical pedagogy, multicultural education, and critical white studies, a branch of "critical race theory"- which is a scholarly theory popularized in the mid-1970s and reaches across disciplines to explore the relationship among race, the justice system, and society. In this seminal work, Professor Pitre introduces several key components of Elijah Muhammad's educational philosophy, such as the knowledge of self; the purpose of education; education for a new world; and the role of teachers. Professor Pitre's presentation of these facets of Elijah Muhammad's philosophy is used as the basis for the development of a new educational paradigm that is universal in scope. This is a must-read book for those dedicated to creating a new paradigm that can transform individuals, schools, societies, and the world.

The Struggle for Black History: Foundations for a Critical Black Pedagogy in Education captures the controversy that surrounds the implementation of Black studies in schools' curricula. This book examines student experiences of a controversial Black history program in 1994 that featured critical discourse about the historical role of racism and its impact on Black people. The program and its continuing controversy is analyzed by drawing from the analyses of Elijah Muhammad, Carter G. Woodson, Maulana Karenga, Molefi Asante, Paulo Freire, Peter McLaren, James Banks, and others. Professors Abul and Esrom Pitre and Professor Ruth Ray use case studies and student experiences to highlight the challenges faced when trying to implement Black studies programs. This study provides the reader with an illuminating picture of critical pedagogy, critical race theory, multicultural education, and Black studies in action. The book lays the foundation for what the authors term "critical Black pedagogy in education," which is an examination of African American leaders, scholars, students, activists, their exegeses and challenge of power relations in Black education. In addition, the book provides recommendations for schools, parents, students, and activists interested in implementing Black studies and multicultural education.

English Language Learners: The Power of Culturally Relevant Pedagogies (The National Association for Multicultural Education (NAME))

Review\nAs a practitioner who has worked with English Learners (ELs) for more than twenty-five years, English Language Learners: The Power of Culturally Relevant Pedagogies is extremely helpful when looking for ways to include culturally responsive approaches when teaching our ELs. The topics in this book cover understanding the needs of ELs, validity in assessing, best practices for working with undocumented immigrant children, and using culturally responsive social emotional learning pedagogy with ELs. This book will become a favorite for all engaged in this field to help build their knowledge, skills, and dispositions in creating educational spaces where English Learners will thrive and succeed. -- Charlene Lui, executive director, National Associate for Multicultural Education\nEnglish Language Learners: The Power of Culturally Relevant Pedagogiesdoes an outstanding job conveying culturally relevant pedagogy and how responsiveness is needed to address the current educational and societal climate of our country. It is evident from the research that learning environments must assess and alter their approach to convey the needs of all constituents. An inclusive paradigm is the path forward! -- Camacia Smith-Ross, assistant professor of education, Southern University and A&M College; executive board, Center for Racial Justice, Dillard University\nThis book confirms the importance of culturally responsive approaches to English language learning and learners. Ranging from theoretical explorations to methodological and empirical elaborations, English Language Learners demonstrates the breadth of contemporary culturally responsive pedagogies in the discipline. It will be an engaging and insightful read for both newcomers and veterans. -- Lisa Zagumny PhD, professor and dean, College of Education, Tennessee Tech University; President National Association for Multicultural Education\nThe recent increase in immigration patterns in the United States has meant an increase in the number of children entering American schools whose first language is not English. Some reports indicate that as many as one in four students come from families where the language spoken in the home is not English. English Language Learners: The Power of Culturally Relevant Pedagogies provides teachers access to information that will help them understand the English language learner, develop effective strategies to teach English language learners, create effective learning environments, and use assessments to meet the needs of English language learners as well as garner community resources to support English language learners.
