When does education become mis-education?This question is at the core of the inspiring book Mis-Educating Blacks in A Southern Rural Community: The Case of Holmes County, Mississippi. Tracing developments in schooling for African Americans in one County’s school district since the Antebellum days, Sylvia Reedy Gist provides chronological accounts that address the question.
Gist weaves personal experiences, observations, recollections of community residents, and published and unpublished sources into a compelling portrayal of schooling for blacks. She integrates photos and figures into a narrative that depicts how, why, and with what results local, state, and national influences facilitated climates for mis-education.
This publication resulted from the author’s desire to provide an accessible, easy-to-read account of the grassroots experiences of black students in the rural South. If you want a glimpse of the difference between education and mis-education, this book is for you.
