Villains or Virtuosos: An Inquiry into Blackmaleness Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Dilemmas of Blackmaleness were explored in this special issue of the Journal of African American Males in Education, entitled, Can You See Me Now?: Exploring the Critical Autoethnographies of Successful African American Males in Education. Specifically, the task for this special issue was to explore how Black males use education to contest self, schools and society for their right to define and determine a unique, positive and functional understanding of Black male reality, and educational praxis that is responsive to the realities of Black male development. Toward these goals, the guest editors reviewed and submitted for double-blind reviews, 33 manuscripts, and painstakingly selected 9 essays to present in this volume.
