"The authors in this volume provide abundant evidence of the passion for justice and long, rich traditions of care that have characterized African American individuals, families and communities. With careful scrutiny and loving exactitude, they have uncovered the moral treasures of a people."
—From the Foreword by Janie Ward and Carol Gilligan"As each of us struggle for integrity in a complicated world, Race-ing Moral Formation should prove useful across a range of settings, from family counseling and classroom discussion to international efforts to negotiate peace."
— From the Epilogue by Charles D. Blakeney and Ronnie Frankel Blakeney This critical volume incorporates the experiences of African Americans into the discourse on moral-development theory and moral education. Featuring cutting-edge essays, this book challenges widely held beliefs and offers new perspectives on moral reasoning. Features:
- A framework for interpreting the psychology of moral formation among African-American children, adolescents, and adults.
- Practical, pedagogical perspectives on promoting care, justice, and moral formation in our schools, grounded in a multiracial understanding of moral education.
- Blends the separate literatures on African American education and on moral education.
- Investigates distinct moral dilemmas that face the African American community, such as closing the education achievement gap, affirmative action, and the failure of academic institutions to be responsive to the needs of African American children."
