Originally released in 1933, The Mis-Education of the Negro continues
to resonate today, raising questions that readers are still trying to
answer. The impact of slavery on the Black psyche is explored and
questions are raised about our education system, such as what and who
African Americans are educated for, the difference between education and
training, and which of these African Americans are receiving. Woodson
provides solutions to these challenges, but these require more study,
discipline, and an Afrocentric worldview. This new edition contains a
biographical profile of the author, a new introduction, and study
questions.
