Palmer, Robert T., Ed.; Wood, J. Luke, Ed. – Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2011
"Black Men in College" provides vital information about how to effectively support, retain, and graduate Black male undergraduates. This edited collection centers on the notion that Black male collegians are not a homogenous group; rather, they are representative of rarely acknowledged differences that exist among them. This valuable text suggests…
