Understanding the Black Flame and Multigenerational Education Trauma: Toward a Theory of the Dehumanization of Black Students

By June Cara Christian

Book Overview

Using Africana critical theory as a critical framework to analyze W. E. B. Du Bois's Black Flame trilogy, this study establishes a transdisciplinary theory of the dehumanization of Black students in the United States. As lenses of analysis, critical race theory and Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome reveal how the processes of racialization, colonization, and globalization contribute to the multigenerational traumas many Blacks have experienced in education since Reconstruction.
