Toward Emancipation in Citizenship Education: The Case of African-American Cultural Knowledge.
Gordon, Beverly M.
Theory and Research in Social Education, v12 n4 p1-23 Win 1985
An emancipatory form of citizenship education is proposed, employing as its pedagogical base Afro-American cultural knowledge born out of the Black community's struggle against American capitalism and racism. The origins of this knowledge are examined and suggestions as to how it could be used in classroom activities are provided. (Author/RM)
