A Vindicationist Perspective on the Role of Ebonics (Black Language) and Other Aspects of Ethnic Studies in the University.

Hoover, Mary Rhodes

American Behavioral Scientist, v34 n2 p251-62 Nov-Dec 1990

Argues that education's current "deficiency" philosophy supports a negative view of the cultures of people of color, negatively affecting educational policies and the direction of research. Advocates the "vindicationist philosophy," which considers Blacks equally capable of academic achievement. Specifically recommends how to instill the vindicationist perspective through faculty workshops. (NL)
