Description

Carter G. Woodson shows the weaknesses of Eurocentric curricula that fail to include African American history and culture. This system mis-educates African American students, failing to prepare them for success or to give them an adequate sense of who they are within the system in which they must live. Woodson provides many strong solutions to the problems he identifies.

The Mis-Education of the Negro is one of the most important books on education ever written. A must-read for anyone working in the education field.
