Shooting for Excellence: African American and Youth Culture in New Century Schools
by Jabari Mahiri
New York: Teachers College Press, 1998
ISBN: 0814144632This book suggests that, rather than transmitting authoritative accounts of American heritage, literacy education should draw on young people's community-based resources and engage youth in cultural transformation. By following African American young men through their community- and school-based uses of language and literacy, Mahiri illustrates how educators can build a more culturally responsive literacy pedagogy.
