{"product_id":"9781498510721","title":"African Immigrants' Experiences in American Schools: Complicating the Race Discourse","description":"African Immigrants’ Experiences in American Schools: Complicating the Race Discourse is aimed at filling the gap in the literature about African-born students in American schools. This book will not only assist teachers and administrators in understanding the nuanced cultural, sociological, and socio-cognitive differences between American-born and African-born students; it will also equip them with effective interpersonal teaching strategies adapted to the distinct needs of African-born students and others like them. The book explores in depth salient African-rooted factors that come into play in the social and academic integration of African immigrant students, such as gender, spirituality, colonization, religious affiliation, etc. The authors examine American-rooted factors that complicate the adaptation of these students in the US educational school system, such as institutional racism, Afrophobia, Islamophobia, cultural discontinuities, curricular mismatches, and western media mis-portrayals. They also proffer pedagogical tools and frameworks that may help minimize these deleterious factors.","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47142989398256,"sku":"9781498510721","price":76.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781498510721_p0.jpg?v=1769896720","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781498510721","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
