Description

Trade ReviewProfessor Sagini has attempted what, on the surface, appears to be unattainable—a systematic, in-depth, and comprehensive analysis of all the factors which have affected both African and African-American higher education throughout history. And yet for the scholar prepared to read it thoroughly, the reward is a deeply satisfying journey through time, culture, and oftentimes opposing points of view of not only what happened, but how it happened... -- Howard Hickey, Michigan State University
This is an overdue synthesis on the contributions and foundations of the African and African-American education systems to global educational systems and civilization...should make interesting reading for students of comparative educational systems...This work is for anyone interested in understanding the rich heritage and rightful place of African and African-American education. -- D. Chongo Mundende, Langston University
Sagini's work will prove useful to scholars of African and African-American education and will be of particular interest and value to scholars of history of education in Africa and in the United States. -- Jid Kamoche, Associate Professor of History, The University of Oklahoma
Professor Sagini approaches African and African-American university education from a holistic perspective. He meticulously offers a world-culture view. And in doing so, Eastern and Western contributions to racism in higher education come into sharper focus. Of special merit is his analysis of factors that have impeded and facilitated the growth of historically black colleges and universities in the United States. Scholars in the academic fields of education and the social sciences as well as those in the humanities will find this volume a valuable reference source. Indeed, it provides insight and provokes discussion of blacks in higher education. -- George Henderson, The University of Oklahoma
