The contributors take a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and multiregional approach that allows students, agency staff, community constituents, faculty, and campus administrators an opportunity to reflect on and redefine what impact African American identity-in the academy and in the community-has on various forms of community engagement. From historic concepts of \"race uplift\" to contemporary debates about racialized perceptions of need, they argue that African American identity plays a significant role. In representing best practices, recommendations, personal insight, and informed warnings about building sustainable and mutually beneficial relationships, the contributors provide a cogent platform from which to encourage the difficult and much-needed inclusion of race in dialogues of national service and community engagement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"State University of New York Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44955107196981,"sku":"ByrdShop_143842874X","price":27.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781438428741_ca964571-0cd7-4323-9c38-570bafdaa0e9.jpg?v=1778646429","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/african-americans-and-community-engagement-in-higher-education-community-service-servicelearning-and-communitybased-research-9781438428741","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
