Education and Adaptation: A Personal Account of African-American Development.
Baxter, Anthony Gilbert
Journal of Education, v172 n3 p107-22 1990
Adaptation is used to examine processes of education historically at the personal/subjective level of human experience. A look at three generations of the author's family illustrates differing adaptive responses facilitated by education, which allowed the author's father and grandfather to cope with racial injustice and adapt to societal changes.
