Abstract
- This literature review reports findings from 19 empirical studies on the experiences of African American teachers in PK-12 desegregated schools. The research questions were: What do we know about the experiences of African American teachers in desegregated PK-12 schools? What are the challenges African American teachers experience in desegregated PK-12 schools? In response to these questions, the article first discusses school desegregation after the "Brown v. Board of Education" decision and its impact on African American teachers as a historical backdrop. Findings from 19 studies were analyzed through grounded theory. Two core themes were identified from our findings: persistent structural challenges and new challenges since "Brown." Subthemes, such as intercultural conflicts, teacher experience as a social construct, and a gap in research, were also identified. These themes were discussed in comparison to challenges of African American teachers during the process of school desegregation after the "Brown" decision.
