The development of the alternative Black curriculum, 1890-1940 : countering the master narrative

Murray, Alana D., 1975- author

Overview

This book examines black intellectual thought during from 1890-1940, and its relationship to the development of the alternative black curriculum in social studies. Inquiry into the alternative black curriculum is a multi-disciplinary project; it requires an intersectional approach that draws on social studies research, educational history and black history. The alternative black curriculum demonstrates how black educators critiqued more prominent education reform movements in the United States. Murray's comprehensive account shows how female authors, intellectuals and teachers created complex narratives that challenged dominant discourses. Exploring the gendered construction of the alternative black curriculum, Murray considers the impact of Carter G. Woodson and W.E.B. DuBois in creating the alternative black curriculum in social studies, and its subsequent relationship to the work of black women in the social studies field.
