Trade Review“What Hicks and McFrazier offer in this critically important tome not only adds to the empirical research literature on self-efficacy among Black college student cohorts, but also situates while at the same time foregrounds the relevance of efficacious behaviors for these cohorts in a diverse array of higher education contexts. The cutting-edge scholarship in this book is certain to spark discourse on this topic for many years to come.” -- Fred A. Bonner, Samuel DeWitt Proctor Chair in Education, Rutgers University Graduate School of Education
