Educational Leaders in a Multicultural Society

A Critical Perspective

By: Abul Pitre

In whose interests are schools working? What role do educational leaders play in maintaining oppression and inequality? These striking questions and others like them are addressed in the book Educational Leaders in a Multicultural Society: A Critical Perspective. This text provides in-service and pre-service education leaders in the K-12 setting with a critical framework for ensuring equity and equality of education for historically underserved students. The book addresses multicultural education from a new and unique perspective, linking critical pedagogy and theory, and social justice to transformative leadership. It then uses these concepts to increase understanding of educational philosophy, curriculum and instruction, policy-making, and school-community relations. The book begins by defining multicultural education and what it means for school leaders. Subsequent chapters address topics such as: Critical Multicultural Curriculum and Instruction; Critical Race Theory; Social Class and Leadership; and Leadership for Social Justice. The final chapter of the book articulates a new vision for multicultural education with the ultimate goal of inspiring school leaders to engage in the radical transformation of their schools. Educational Leaders in a Multicultural Society can be used in undergraduate courses in the foundations of education and multicultural education. It is also an excellent text for graduate courses in school administration. Abul Pitre earned his Ph.D. at Colorado State University. Currently he is the Chair of Leadership Studies at North Carolina A& T State University, where he teaches Multicultural Education for Educational Leaders, Leadership Theories, and Afrocentric Leadership Literacy. Dr. Pitre's research interests are in the areas of multicultural education for school leaders, critical theories in leadership, and the educational philosophy of Elijah Muhammad. During his tenure at Edinboro University, he became the institution's first named professor for his outstanding work in African-American education, holding the distinguished title Carter G. Woodson Professor of Education.

The Struggle for Black History

Foundations for a Critical Black Pedagogy in Education

By: Abul Pitre,Ruth Ray,Esrom Pitre

The Struggle for Black History: Foundations for a Critical Black Pedagogy in Education captures the controversy that surrounds the implementation of Black studies in schools' curricula. This book examines student experiences of a controversial Black history program in 1994 that featured critical discourse about the historical role of racism and its impact on Black people. The program and its continuing controversy is analyzed by drawing from the analyses of Elijah Muhammad, Carter G. Woodson, Maulana Karenga, Molefi Asante, Paulo Freire, Peter McLaren, James Banks, and others. Professors Abul and Esrom Pitre and Professor Ruth Ray use case studies and student experiences to highlight the challenges faced when trying to implement Black studies programs. This study provides the reader with an illuminating picture of critical pedagogy, critical race theory, multicultural education, and Black studies in action. The book lays the foundation for what the authors term "critical Black pedagogy in education," which is an examination of African American leaders, scholars, students, activists, their exegeses and challenge of power relations in Black education. In addition, the book provides recommendations for schools, parents, students, and activists interested in implementing Black studies and multicultural education.

Liberation Pedagogy

Elijah Muhammad and the Art of Soul Crafting

By: Abul Pitre

Liberation Pedagogy: Elijah Muhammad and the Art of Soul Crafting places the work of Elijah Muhammad in an educational context. Drawing from concepts in critical educational theory and Black liberation theology, it introduces to readers the contributions that Elijah Muhammad made to the education of oppressed people. It includes a comparative analysis of Paulo Freire’s work and its similarities to Elijah Muhammad’s teachings.A highlight of this book is that it explores the lives of Elijah Muhammad’s students—Minister Malcolm X, Imam Warith D. Mohammed, Minister Muhammad Ali, and Minister Louis Farrakhan—to demonstrate how his teachings touched the souls of these unlettered personalities. This book offers a liberation pedagogy that educators can use to inspire students to become life-long learners, enabling them to see the acquisition of knowledge as the vehicle to discover their unique gifts and talents.
