Slavery to Liberation: The African American Experience (Second Edition)
Slavery to Liberation: The African American Experience (Second Edition) gives instructors, students, and general readers a comprehensive and up-to-date account of African Americans’ cultural and political history, economic development, artistic expressiveness, and religious and philosophical worldviews in a critical framework. It offers sound interdisciplinary analysis of selected historical and contemporary issues surrounding the origins and manifestations of White supremacy in the United States. By placing race at the center of the work, the book offers significant lessons for understanding the institutional marginalization of Blacks in contemporary America and their historical resistance and perseverance.https://encompass.eku.edu/ekuopen/1002/thumbnail.jp
Good educational leadership :principles of democratic practice : with reference to maintained schools in England
Accepting that "good" leadership is critical for a school to flourish, in a democratic
society such leadership should be informed by democratic values. I develop this
argument with particular reference to maintained schools in England. These are
designated places that prepare the next generation for future lives as citizens, but
their leadership practices promote an autocratic model of leadership centred on the
agency of an individual, the headteacher.
I consider the influence of past practice on this hierarchical tradition of school
leadership and criticise its continuing presence in current policy and practice. I offer
an alternative conception of good school leadership, based on democratic principles
of political liberty and equality. I show, with reference to empirical research by other
scholars, how this might be applied to future policy and practice.
My argument applies theory to a significant problem in educational practice,
working across the foundational disciplines in the study of education. While my
critique of current arrangements is interdisciplinary, it leans most towards a
philosophical approach. I draw on earlier work within that discipline which
establishes what a characteristically democratic approach to school leadership must
logically entail. I argue that existing school leadership practices may be democratic
when undertaken in the right spirit by people morally committed to those values and
skilled at translating them into daily life.
I conclude that schools should determine freely for themselves how they wish to be
led, within limits identified by a new national framework for school leadership; this
should replace the current system, focussed on "standards". Schools should ensure
that strategic decisions concerning their future direction are shaped by directly
interested parties. This alternative conception of good school leadership will require
existing professional development programmes to be revised, because learning for
and from leadership start at school, both "taught" and "caught" from experience
