Call for Chapters

In general, Boys and Men of Color in the U.S. face a number of critical
academic, social, psychological and environmental issues. These academic
issues include, but are not limited to, disproportional rates of suspensions
and expulsions, overrepresentation in special education programs,
underrepresentation in gifted education, Advanced Placement and
college-preparatory programs, excessively high dropout/pushout rates, and
high incidence of stereotype threat. These academic disparities are
inextricably linked to negative social and environmental outcomes. These
include racial discrimination, high rates of unemployment, economic
hardship, adverse health conditions, drug and alcohol abuse, sexual abuse,
homophobia, negative media portrayal, and racial hate-crime violence, and
police brutality.

Potential Topics – Chapters submitted are from Men of Color who have
overcome one or more of these challenges mentioned above. Be sure to
specifically note how you “beat the odds” or overcame these adversities to
become successful, and end your chapter with 2-3 pieces of advice you would
leave to someone going through similar trials and tribulations. The age of
authors is 24 years of age and beyond.
