NEW BOOK REVEALS HOW TODAY'S BLACK MEN CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN 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
