This book examines the opportunities, orientations and outcomes that shape education for Black people across time, place and space throughout the African diaspora. It bridges gaps in education studies and African diaspora studies, noting the connections between these two formative fields as central to a fuller understanding of the history and futurity of African descendants around the world.

The chapters in this volume showcase the work of scholars across disciplinary boundaries, national contexts, and methodological expertise, all of whom are deeply concerned with education for Black children, young people and adults from critical perspectives. Crucially, this volume explores the social, political, psychic, and material dimensions of education for Black people within the African diaspora as already part of a larger global phenomenon—linking the national and the international, the local and the global for a more comprehensive understanding of the past, present and future of education for people of African descent around the world.

Education Across the African Diaspora will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of education studies, African diaspora studies, education history, African studies, black studies, ethnic studies and sociology. This book was originally published as a special issue of Peabody Journal of Education.
