This work is the first to examine the educational philosophy of Elijah Muhammad, the founder of the Nation of Islam and a pivotal leader in America's history. This timely book outlines Elijah Muhammad's educational ideas in relation to critical pedagogy, multicultural education, and critical white studies, a branch of "critical race theory", a theory popularized in the mid-1970s that reaches across disciplines to explore the relationship among race, the justice system, and society. This is a must-read for those dedicated to creating a new paradigm that can transform individuals, schools, societies, and the world.

Features new to the second edition include a foreword by Tynnetta Muhammad, wife and student of Elijah Muhammad; opening comments by world renowned mathematician Dr. Abdulalim Sahabazz; a new chapter co-authored with Dr. Dorothy Blake Fardan; plus guided questions and power point notes to stimulate discourse around Elijah Muhammad's educational ideas.

Abul Pitre is the former Carter G. Woodson Professor of Education at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania and current Professor of Education at Southern University.
