Abstract Details

2004, Doctor of Philosophy, Ohio State University, Educational Policy and Leadership.
The guiding purpose of this study was to explore and investigate the social, cultural, and educational worlds of Anne Moody, Daisy Bates, and Angela Davis from 1940-1970. The autobiographies served as cultural artifacts and historical narratives of specific times, events, and aspects in the authors’ lives. In choosing to conduct the study using a qualitative paradigm, I was not only able to examine how these three African- American women navigated and negotiated the worlds of race, class, and gender during the period of 1940-1970, but was also able to offer descriptive details of the multiple meanings of their lived experiences during the Educational Reform, Civil Rights, and Black Nationalists/Power movements that took place during the late 1950s, 1960s and early 1970s. Utilizing the fields of educational anthropology, the politics of education, educational history, policy studies, the history of African American education and the qualitative research methods for education. This study examined the autobiographical works of Anne Moody, Daisy Bates, and Angela Davis as sites: (1) to explore the dynamics and impact of racial and school segregation and efforts toward racial and school desegregation, (2) to describe and understand the Higher Education experiences of the writers, and (3) to examine the cultural and social lives of the three authors.
