Description

The house is ablaze! What are we going to do? This is the question posed by award-winning educator and former principal, Desmond Williams. His first book, The Burning House: Educating Black Boys in Modern America is a manifesto on the issues confronting Black boys in today's schools. Speaking from the perspective of a teacher, principal, parent, and concerned citizen, Williams confronts issues pertaining to Black boys with a fresh perspective. He tackles disengagement, anti-intellectualism, the relevance gap, the school-to-prison pipeline, relationship building, special education referrals and whiteness as individual rooms on fire within a house. Williams offers a divergent framework for viewing these problems and provides workable solutions to extinguish the flames. Armed with data and expert analysis, Williams's work is shifting the paradigm on how to best educate boys of color for the 21st century. Inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.'s post-civil rights thinking, Williams challenges readers to evaluate the educational gains of African Americans. Williams references a myriad of scholars including, Henry Giroux, Lisa Delpit, Dr. Janice Hale, Dr. Amos Wilson, Dr. Robert L. Williams, Dr. Cheryl Matias and many others. If teachers want to firefight for Black boys, this book is a must read.
