AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This book is concerned with the ways Black Americans have been represented both in literature and public discourse. It argues that the most dominant of these representations are riddled with images of lack; difference, intellectual inadequacy, hostility, and aggressiveness. The book also discusses the effects of these representations on in shaping the learning experiences of black students in a Washington area high school.
