This work is the first to examine the educational philosophy of Elijah Muhammad, the patriarch 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" popularized in the mid-1970s that reaches across disciplines to explore the relationship among race, the justice system, and society. The Educational Philosophy of Elijah Muhammad: Education for a New World is a must-read for those dedicated to creating a new paradigm that can transform individuals, schools, societies, and the world.

Features new to this completely revised third edition include a more in-depth discussion of critical educational theory as it relates to the teachings of Elijah Muhammad and foreword by world renowned curriculum theorist William Pinar.
With deep insight and thought the author, Abul Pitre, very skillfully takes the reader on an exciting enlightening intellectual roller coaster ride with stops at The Leadership of Elijah Muhammad; Knowledge as Power; The Critical Educator; Elijah Muhammad: The Teacher; Education for a New World; Islam, Diversity, and The New World; Education, and The Role of Teachers.
