Originally released in 1933, The Mis-Education of the Negro
continues to resonate today, raising questions that readers are still
trying to answer. The impact of slavery on the Black psyche is explored
and questions are raised about our education
system, such as what and who African Americans are educated for, the
difference between education and training, and which of these African
Americans are receiving. Woodson provides solutions to these challenges,
but these require more study, discipline, and
an Afrocentric worldview. This new edition contains a biographical
profile of the author, a new introduction, and study questions.
