Black Scholarly Activism between the Academy and Grassroots is a deeply engaging work that urges the reader to consider the possibilities and challenges facing academics who work towards social justice. Once picked up, this is a difficult book to put down: a must read.' ?Remi-Joseph Salisbury, Leeds Beckett University, UK This book explores the 'invisible' impact whiteness has on the lived 'black' experience in the UK. Using education as a philosophical and ethical framework, the author interrogates the vision of Black Radicalism proposed by Kehinde Andrews, exploring its potential applicability to grassroots activism. Clennon uses an interdisciplinary theoretical framework to draw together his previous writings on 'blackness', in effect crystallising the links between commercial (urban) blackness, the pathological structures of whiteness and institutional control. Drawing inspiration from Robbie Shilliam's cosmologically related 'hinterlands' as an antidote to the nature of colonial (Eurocentric) epistemologies, the author uses the polemical chapters as gateways to theoretical discussion about the material effects of whiteness felt on the ground. This controversial and unflinching volume will be of interest to students and scholars of race studies, particularly within education, and the lived black experience. Ornette D. Clennon is a Visiting Research Fellow at Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. He is also an activist and writer, working both at local and national levels, and in 2011 received the NCCPE Beacons New Partnerships Award for his enterprise and activism work. 606 $aEducational sociology 606 $aEducational policy 606 $aEducation and state 606 $aEducational sociology  606 $aEducation and sociology 606 $aEthnicity in Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O49000 606 $aEducational Policy and Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O19000 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O29000 606 $aSociology of Education$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22070 615 0$aEducational sociology. 615 0$aEducational policy. 615 0$aEducation and state. 615 0$aEducational sociology . 615 0$aEducation and sociology. 615 14$aEthnicity in Education. 615 24$aEducational Policy and Politics. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 615 24$aSociology of Education. 676 $a305.55208996073 676 $a371.82996041 700 $aClennon$b Ornette D$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01064047 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299522103321 996 $aBlack Scholarly Activism between the Academy and Grassroots$92536115 997 $aUNINA
