Vainglorious: How Todays Black
Men Graduate From College
Los Angeles, CA (BlackNews.com) - Vainglorious:
How Today's Black Men Graduate From College examines the strategies
twelve African American men used to be successful in school and graduate
from college. Written by John P. Hamilton, Ed.D., (co-author of The
Elevator is Broken) has created a tool for educators from elementary
to college as well as parents to utilize.
Vainglorious states the problem of research
continuously stressing whats wrong with African American males in
education. Hamilton examines
what's right with African American males. Vainglorious offers strategies/solutions
other African American males can utilize to be successful.
Moreover,
Vainglorious allows educators to draw upon the experiences of the
twelve African American males in this book, who successfully graduated
from four-year colleges/universities in Southern California. These
twelve individuals responses to surveys and interviews outline what
they believed assisted them from elementary to college graduation.
What
are educators saying about Vainglorious?
"Hamilton has written an excellent book
to improve the retention of African American male college students." --
Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu, Author of Black College Student Survival Guide
"The book by Dr. Hamilton is a refreshing
portrayal of African American males and a remarkably insightful work.
I urge every reader to study
it and use its solutions as ways to ensure African American male
success." --
Dr. Molefi Kete Asante, Professor, Temple University Author, The
Afrocentric Idea
"Rather than adding to the plethora of negativity
on the subject of African American males in higher education, Dr.
Hamilton chose to
seek out what makes these students succeed at college and tell
the world. It is my hope that the research described here changes
the
conversation from what is wrong to what is right so that right
can be replicated in all our schools - secondary to post-secondary
to
the benefit of us all." -- Karen Carmichael, Loyola Marymount
University Learning Resource Center, Associate Director.
