Description
Tiffany Caesar's empowering work highlights the contributions of six extraordinary Africana women educators who have contributed to African-Centered education.
This book empowers people of African descent within the United States and abroad by focusing on solutions created by Africana women for decolonizing colonial educational structures. Caesar brings a fresh perspective by discussing the twenty-first-century Black woman and the necessity to archive their experience as leaders in African-centered education.
Offering an in-depth examination and analysis of six Africana women (three from Detroit and three from South Africa – Johannesburg and Pretoria), the author challenges the deficit models of Black educational systems. By telling their stories, this book counters the visible invisibility of their African-centered educational leadership through portraiture methodology and Black womanist archival tradition.
Caesar highlights the multifaceted activities of each Africana woman, explores the spiritual elements affecting their lives, and emphasizes the role of self-care and why it's vital to prioritize their health within diverse communities.
