The Color of Success 2.0
is a powerful update of Gilberto Conchas’ groundbreaking exploration of the educational trajectories of urban youth.
The first edition of
The Color of Success
was a groundbreaking, asset-based exploration of the educational trajectories of high-achieving, low-income students within urban schools. The author brings his now seminal book
up to date with insights based on existing and new research, current policies, and innovative pedagogical approaches
.
Conchas utilizes a critical lens to examine the intersectional identities of racially minoritized students, the role of existing power hierarchies within schools, and offers specific structural approaches that create educational opportunity. This book amplifies student voice; explores school, family, and community partnerships; promotes culturally relevant pedagogy and teacher preparation; includes a new chapter on Black male optimism after the historic election of President Barack Obama; and offers a thought-provoking additional chapter on the role of educational leaders in promoting successful school pathways; plus it contains a thoroughly revised quantitative chapter on social capital.
With a sense of urgency, readers will gain vital insights for understanding what is needed to create, promote, and expand equitable school environments and transformative pathways for racially minoritized urban youth.
Book Features:
Takes a rare look at Black, Latinx, and Vietnamese urban school success stories, instead of those depicting failure.
Includes narratives and perspectives of students’ daily struggles, affirmations, and successes in their quest to navigate school and beyond.
Uses mixed-methods research to respond to the challenges of a new post-pandemic political reality of racial unrest and an unequal social landscape.
Examines the role of educational leaders’ responsibility as change agents to provide equitable and dynamic pathways for success.
