Black Male Teacher-Coaches’ Utilization of Black Counterpublics: The Black Family,Liberatory Fantasy,and Resisting the Ontological Limitation of Blackness
Drawing from a conceptual framework grounded in Black critical theories, this qualitative case study explored the youth knowledge that two Black Male social studies teacher-coaches serving in urban Catholic high schools acquired through Black counterpublics to reconceptualize the ontological limitation of Black existence. Findings demonstrated that it was within civic spaces generated within the Black family and community that participants acquired the socio-cultural knowledge to see through antiBlack forms of White projection.
