Raising Black Boys

[Warrior Princess]

About the book "Raising Black Boys" by Dr.Jawanza Kunjufu:



CHICAGO, Aug. 22 /PRNewswire/--

National bestselling author Jawanza
Kunjufu has written another great book, "Raising Black Boys." This is an
excellent book for parents, guardians, mentors, counselors, and all those
concerned about Black boys. Over 5,000 pre-school children are expelled
annually and 90 percent are male! In his earlier book, "Countering the
Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys," Kunjufu describes the fourth grade
failure syndrome. The problems for African American boys begin very early.
The chapters include framework, trends, goals, the power of words,
families, mothers, fathers, denial, households, discipline, character, pre-
school, schools three critical grades, reading/algebra, special education,
peer pressure, rap music, television, sports, safety, sexuality, racial
profiling, the village, career development, spirituality and alternatives.
This is the most comprehensive book on African American boys.
Kunjufu writes passionately that the future of Black boys lies in the
hands of mothers and White female teachers. He documents that only 32
percent of African American boys have their fathers in the home and only
one percent of America's teachers are African American male.
Kunjufu offers over 100 successful strategies parents are using to
raise their sons. We must reduce the disproportionate percentage of African
American males in special education. Black boys are only 8 percent of the
student population but comprise 33 percent of special education students.
Kunjufu documents that some governors determine prison growth based on
fourth grade reading scores. How tragic!
Kunjufu's books allocate a small amount of attention to the problem and
spend the bulk of the time offering solutions. This is a must-read!
