Summary:
"With essays concerned with the struggle to achieve equal educational opportunity through desegregation and the struggle for equality of educational achievement, Gordon uses logical analysis to exploit the potential of the dominant system's theories ("the master's tools") to subvert that system's efforts at intellectual marginalization and oppression of low-income people of color. Dr. Edmund W. Gordon is one of America's most influential advocates for improving education of children from underprivileged backgrounds. Primarily focused on how African American students can triumph over significant odds against success to become better achievers, he has spent much of his life's work developing strategies to close "The Achievement Gap" and use knowledge and understanding to develop equity in and through education and improve the human condition"-- Provided by publisher.
