This book presents the experiences and ideas of a leading black educator interweaving his autobiography with the stories of contemporary street gang members and former members. Their own words illustrate Gentry s thesis that even the hardest gang members want to get an education and want to find The Hope Factor. In addition the book offers an approach for dealing with the greatest challenges facing the nation today: urban violence and the miseducation of minority youth. Gentry begins by outlining his major themes and then examines American urban education using his own personal history as well as his more than 25 years of experience in the field. He then provides exemplary case studies and proposes practical solutions. The book is addressed to future teachers and administrators as well as to those now in urban schools and to all concerned with the state of urban and minority education.

Many great artists have had at least intermittent doubts about their own abilities. But The Education of Henry Adams is surely one of the few masterpieces to issue directly from a raging inferiority complex. The author to be sure had bigger shoes to fill than most of us. Both his grandfather and great-grandfather were U.S. presidents. His father a relative underachiever scraped by as a member of Congress and ambassador to the Court of St. James. But young Henry born in Boston in 1838 was destined for a walk-on role in his nation s history--and seemed alarmingly aware of the fact from the time he was an adolescent. For the author could neither match his exalted ancestors nor dismiss them as dusty relics--he was an Adams after all formed from the same 18th-century clay. Henry sat on the sidelines throughout the conflict of the Civil War serving as his father s private secretary and anxiously negotiating the minefields of English society. He then returned home and commenced a long career as a journalist historian novelist and peripheral participant in the political process--a kind of mouthpiece for what remained of the New England conscience. He was not by any measure but his own a failure. And the proof of the pudding is The Education of Henry Adams itself which remains among the oddest and most enlightening books in American literature. Adams s book is a brilliant account of how his own sensibility came to be. A literary landmark from the moment it first appeared the Autobiography confers upon its author precisely that prize he felt had always eluded him: success.
