Review Quotes: -This book is one of the most comprehensive works to appear on this topic in decades. It is insightful, precise, and essential to the field of education, particularly urban education. Various educational stakeholders will benefit by reading this text. This book is a must-have if you are genuinely concerned about educating youth in the hip-hop generation.- (Chance W. Lewis, Endowed Chair and Associate Professor of Urban Education, Texas A&M University) -'Cultural Collision and Collusion' is an outstanding piece of interdisciplinary scholarship that compels us to rethink our assumptions about the way we educate African American youth. Floyd D. Beachum and Carlos R. McCray reject the deficit thinking so common in research on the topic and instead insist that we build our teaching and leadership in schools on the strength, passion, beauty, and brilliance of African American values and cultures.- (Jeffrey S. Brooks, University of Missouri; Author of 'Black School, White School: Racism and Educational (Mis)leadership')" Review Citations:
