Beyond Acting White: Reframing the Debate on Black Student Achievement
Erin McNamara Horvat
Elucidates the limitations of the explanation that Blacks underperform in school because they fear acting white. This work presents research that theorizes race as a social phenomenon, unmasks the heterogeneity of the Black experience, and contends with the specifics of social context in the culture and organization of schools and communities.
