This book is an in-depth exploration of the motivations behind black parents’ decision to educate their children at home and the strategies they’ve developed to overcome potential obstacles. Citing current issues such as culture, religion and safety, the book challenges the commonly expressed view that black parents and their children have divested from formal education by embracing homeschooling as a constructive strategy to provide black children with a valuable educational experience."--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a African Americans $x Education. 650 0 $a Home schooling. 650 6 $a Noirs ameÌricains $x EÌducation. 650 7 $a EDUCATION $x Home Schooling. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a EDUCATION $x Parent Participation. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x African American Studies. $x African American Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a African Americans $x Education. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00799600 650 7 $a Home schooling. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959374 700 1 $a Musumunu, Garvey, $e author. 830 0 $a Routledge research in education ; $v 125. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724072456.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BC6D5528214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
