Summary Tracing the€history of€black schooling€in North America, this book emphasizes factors in society at large€ - and sometimes within black communities - which led to€black children being separate from the white majority.€This separation€was continued and reinforced as efforts by European immigrants to provide separate Catholic, Lutheran, and Calvinist schools were deplored and opposed.€In African-American/Afro-Canadian Schooling: From the Colonial Period to the Present, Charles Glenn reveals the€evolution of assumptions about race and culture as applied to schooling, as well as€the reactions of black parents and leadership in the United States and Canada "An overview of efforts to provide formal schooling to Black children and youth in North America, from the Colonial period to the present, both in the South and in the North and Canada The account includes the damaging racial assumptions of the White majority, the often-heroic efforts of Black parents and teachers to provide education, the contributions of Black churches and White missionary organizations during Reconstruction and long after, formal and informal mechanisms of segregation in the North as well as the South, resistance to desegregation in recent decades, and new approaches to education that reduce the racial achievement gap"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject African Americans -- Education -- History Black people -- Education -- Canada -- History Teaching of specific groups & persons with special educational needs.
