Download or read book Beyond Acting White written by Erin McNamara Horvat and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2006 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Acting White broadens the extant conversation on the Black-White achievement gap that has been dominated by the notion that Blacks underperform in school because they fear (being accused of) 'acting white.' The authors elucidate the limitations of this explanation by presenting new research that theorizes race as a social phenomenon, unmasks the heterogeneity of the Black experience, and contends with the specifics of social context in the culture and organization of schools and communities.
