    Ikeda/Soka Studies in Education Bibliography

    Here at the Ikeda Center, we advocate the form of humanistic education known as Soka education. The following bibliographic essay provides a roadmap to relevant English sources on Soka education.

    We intend this bibliography to be a valuable resource for three groups of readers: 1) researchers who are new to Soka education and who seek productive starting points for their research; 2) applicants in the Center’s Education Fellows Program; and 3) general readers who are interested in learning more about the history, philosophy, and practice of Soka education.

    Black Immigrants in North America : Essays on Race, Immigration, Identity, Language, Hip-Hop, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Becoming Black [1 ed.] 9781975501983, 9781975501969

    Advance Praise for Black Immigrants in North America: “In this timely collection, Awad Ibrahim achieves an impressive analysis of the existentialist intersections of race and Blackness, immigration and identity, all as tethered to Hip-Hop, pedagogy and being. In so doing, he excavates the fragmented habitat of naturalized Black liminality for new ways of ‘repairing’ warped subjectivities into liberated, even ‘likable’ personae. An impressive disquisition indeed, that should be read and shared widely.” —Ali A. Abdi, The University of British Columbia Author of Education and the Politics of Difference (with Ratna Ghosh)

    “Black Immigrants in North America is a rarity in researching and theorizing the unique lived experience of Black immigrants—both continental and diasporic Africans
