Colin, Scipio A. J., III; Guy, Talmadge C.

PAACE Journal of Lifelong Learning, v7 p43-55 1998

Identifies three curriculum orientations in African-American adult education: multicultural/social reconstructionist, self-ethnic liberatory/empowerment, and accommodation/subordinate. The interpretive model compares these three orientations on the seven principles of an Africentric world view as a means of selecting and critiquing African-American content in adult education. (SK)
