| Short Description: | This report seeks to give a balanced view of the issues
that exist for young men of color as identified by the
research. Its particular value is that it looks at six
distinct pathways that young men of color — and all
students — take after high school and arranges the
research in this way, and for the first time synthesizes
the literature for males of all four minority groups
— African Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders, Hispanics/Latinos and Native Americans and
Alaska Natives in one place. |
| Annotation: | This report seeks to give a balanced view of the issues
that exist for young men of color as identified by the
research. Its particular value is that it looks at six
distinct pathways that young men of color — and all
students — take after high school and arranges the
research in this way, and for the first time synthesizes
the literature for males of all four minority groups
— African Americans, Asian Americans and Pacific
Islanders, Hispanics/Latinos and Native Americans and
Alaska Natives in one place. In attempting to solve the
crisis facing young men of color in the United States,
we must rely on more than just outcome measures
to find solutions. Data will help us identify the issues,
but much more thought and research will be needed
to find solutions. It is imperative that we build a body
of literature about young men of color that will help
us get to the “why” behind the data. This report
synthesizes the available literature, data and case
studies relating to minority male achievement. |
