Two of America's most trusted and respected authorities on child care provide answers to nearly 1000 questions on the problem of raising African-American children. Along with the traditional demands of parenthood, today’s parents must grapple with such daunting issues as drugs, AIDS, violence, and educational pressures. But black parents face an even more challenging task: they must actively combat negative messages of racism while teaching their children to succeed in a white-dominated culture. In this thorough guide to parenting, two noted child psychiatrists, both African-American, focus on the special concerns of black parents. They offer comprehensive advice on nearly 1,000 common childrearing questions, paying particular attention to such problems as building self-esteem and helping black children cope with the often unconscious racism and microaggressions of white society. Authoritative and comprehensive, Raising Black Children is an indispensable resource for every African-American family and for teachers of all races who seek to gain sensitivity to the needs of their black pupils. “A necessary addition to all parenting and parent-teacher collections.”—Linda Cullum, Library Journal

This is a book every African American parent should have. It points out how African American parents can build educational success for their child in spite of the negative effects of history and tradition. It outlines the steps necessary for parents to counter these effects. This book provides solutions by helping frame a strong definition of education, as well as how to create a home environment to support the definition. This is a timeless parental involvement tool which should benefit any parent and child who follows the advice. Randy Brown, Parent, Education Advocate in Cobb County Georgia Who's Defining Education for Your Child compiles a list of proven and practical suggestions, anchored in a timeless principle that can be easily implemented by parents today, if they are committed to developing a strong "mindset" for education in themselves and in their children. Dr. Lolethia Kibble, Title II Specialist, Virginia Department of Education Dr. and Mrs. Williams have created a profound piece of literature that is a "wake up call" to all stakeholders in the educational process of our African American students. They have set the platform for both much needed discussion and reform, in the way we value, relate to, and understand education. I have been inspired by the truths presented in this book, and will certainly use it as a springboard as to how I view the "teacher/learner" cultural and climate in my classroom. Nadine Lucate Pierre, Teacher In order to ensure that students receive the educational opportunities that prepare them for the challenges of the 21st century, parents must motivate their children to engage in learning so they can achieve school success. "Who's Defining Education for Your Child?" provides some concrete strategies for parents to help address the issues that short circuit the academic success of African American youth and it illustrates a compelling story for why you can't just let others define educational experiences for your child.

In 2021, the United States Census Bureau reported that in 2020, during the rise of the global health pandemic COVID-19, homeschooling among Black families increased five-fold. However, Black families had begun choosing to homeschool even before COVID-19 led to school closures and disrupted traditional school spaces. Homeschooling Black Children in the US: Theory, Practice and Popular Culture offers an insightful look at the growing practice of homeschooling by Black families through this timely collection of articles by education practitioners, researchers, homeschooling parents and homeschooled children. Homeschooling Black Children in the US: Theory, Practice and Popular Culture honestly presents how systemic racism and other factors influence the decision of Black families to homeschool. In addition, the book chapters illustrate in different ways how self-determination manifests within the homeschooling practice. Researchers Khadijah Ali-Coleman and Cheryl Fields-Smith have edited a compilation of work that explores the varied experiences of parents homeschooling Black children before, during and after COVID-19. From veteran homeschooling parents sharing their practice to researchers reporting their data collected pre-COVID, this anthology of work presents an overview that gives substantive insight into what the practice of homeschooling looks like for many Black families in the United States.
