?Thompson to the literature on effective traits of successful teachers of African American students that began with Janice Hale-Benson's Black Children in 1983. The author provides useful information from her ethnographic examination of African American teenagers expressing their thoughts on the educational process....This book would be useful for graduate students conducting research in ethnography and the academic achievement of African American students. Highly Recommended. Graduate collections and above.?-Choice
