1	Their education and their way of being: discourses of place, protest, and hope in the Mississippi delta Gernes, Marie Elizabeth 01 December 2014 (has links) In March 2010, parents and community activists in rural Sunflower County, Mississippi, organized and enacted a boycott of the local public schools, which led to a comprehensive accreditation audit by the Mississippi Department of Education and the subsequent takeover of the local education agency. This study examines the boycott's connections to local discourses of protest in the Black community, to local histories and contemporary quality of life, and to the circulations of power evident in the grassroots activism and in the state intervention. This work is situated in an interdisciplinary theoretical framework which draws on place studies, rhizome theory, Levinasian ethics, and Critical Discourse Analysis. Using ethnographic methods of data collection and Critical Discourse Analysis of data, I position the boycott in context and examine its rhizomatic roots and offshoots in discourse.

2	The development of a culture of learning among the black people of South Africa, 1652-1998 Mahuma, Swetsy Maria 01 1900 (has links) This disseration addresses a historical-education analysis of events that contributed to the deterioration of a culture of learning from 1652-1998 among Black South Africans. Black education was purported to be inferior and unjust. The previous government spent less on Black education and applied stringent measures to solve problems besetting Black education. Dissatisfaction among Blacks led to rioting that unsettled the culture of learning, especially during 1970-1990. It was only during the 1990's that the Nationalist government under F.W. de Klerk, acknowledged the legitimacy of the demands by Blacks for an equitable and just education. After Nelson Mandela had been elected as the first Black president of South Africa, a single education system was formed. Control and administration of education was assigned to the nine newly established provinces. The provinces adopted the motto : Re a soma - We are working in our schools, for the development of a culture of learning, especially in Black communities. / Educational Studies / M.Ed.(History of Education) Behaviourism Cognitive learning Gestalt theory Missionary education Bantu education Department of Education and Training Political struggles School boycotts Commissions of enquiry Learning dispensation Democratic era Single education department 370.968 Education -- South Africa Educational sociology -- South Africa Multicultural education -- South Africa Education and state -- South Africa Educational change -- South Africa Educational equalization -- South Africa Blacks -- Education -- South Africa Segregation in education -- South Africa
