Thanks to this book I now perceive the work this project describes as crisis intervention designed to promote self-esteem and motivation to learn. The author is thorough in his presentation of the history of immersion schools. Furthermore, his own first-hand experiences teaching at the Malcolm X Academy provides him with an insider's lens. Hopkins does not attempt to show a causal relation, but rather through in-depth interviewing procedures with students, parents, and school personnel at all levels, he explores the processes by which young Black males in the immersion schools under study learn agency amidst social structures that have tended to count them out. There is much to like about this book. - Diane DuBose Brunner, Michigan State University """It did not take Hopkins' project to convince me that the state of Black males is in crisis, but I had heretofore seen the proposal for all male academies as alternative education.
