Book excerpt: "Understanding and Educating African-American Children explores and explains the multifaceted character of black children, focusing on black inner city children who present the schools with their greatest challenge. All black children are not alike and all of them do not fit the description given in these pages. But many of them are like the ones written about here, and understanding these will help the reader better understand all black children, and indeed all children... The essays in this book are about the different cultural and societal influences that impact black children and the variety of ways black children respond to those influences"--Preface.
