African American’s academic outcomes. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 152
African American’s academic outcomes presents the
academic outcomes of African Americans related to
the historical and cultural experiences of African
Americans in U.S. culture. This book demonstrates
how culture or the difference in culture plays a key
role in understanding the difference in academic
outcomes. Given the difference in wealth and other
socioeconomic indicators, the academic outcomes of
African American differ from that of European
Americans. The argument presented in this book
suggests that differences in cultural history
presents differences in the way in which social
factors influence different cultural groups. In turn
measure two cultural groups using the measuring
stick of one of the cultures (European American
cultures) places the other culture (African American
culture) at a disadvantage. This book demonstrated
that social factors affect cultural groups
differently because the historical response to
cultural groups is different. Further, findings in
this book support the need for more research showing
factors which promote academic success among African
American students.
