Black Males in Postsecondary Education - Examining Their Experiences in Diverse Institutional Contexts (Hc)

Black Males in Postsecondary Institutions: Examining their Experiences in Diverse Institutional
Contexts offers a comprehensive examination of the experiences of Black males in our nation's
higher education institutions. In recognizing the role of institutions in fostering distinctive
educational experiences, this volume systematically explores the status, academic achievement,
and educational realities of Black men within numerous institutional types (i.e., community
colleges, For-profit colleges, Liberal arts colleges, historically Black colleges and universities,
ivy league institutions, religious-affiliated institutions, private institutions, Hispanic-serving
institutions, research intensive institutions, and predominately White institutions). In line with a core commitment towards
transformative change, chapter authors also provide recommendations for future research, policy, and practice aimed at fostering
enhanced personal, academic, and career outcomes for Black men in college.
