The purpose of this ethnography was to examine how support from the family, community, and/or school fostered educational resilience in the lives of a group of African American female students. Taking into consideration the interaction of race, class, and gender, the objective of the study was to learn what support systems are present in the lives of current African American female students that buffer adversity and support school persistence. The research study itself took place over a three year academic period, following the students from their eighth grade school year to the end of their sophomore year in high school. Using ethnographic and qualitative research methods, the study included participant-observation and unstructured open-ended interviews. In addition to field notes and taped-interviews, participants' self-reports were supplemented with students' school records, as a source for data analysis.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of this ethnography was to examine how support from the family, community, and/or school fostered educational resilience in the lives of a group of African American female students. Taking into consideration the interaction of race, class, and gender, the objective of the study was to learn what support systems are present in the lives of current African American female students that buffer adversity and support school persistence. The research study itself took place over a three year academic period, following the students from their eighth grade school year to the end of their sophomore year in high school.

520 $a Understanding that educational resilience is a process that is contextually bound, the study also includes a social, political, and economic historical analysis of the city where the study took place. Also, very important to this study is that the researcher introduces a new theoretical and methodological approach to studying school experiences of African American female students, called post-womanist research. Post-womanist research methods combine the tenets of postmodernism and Black feminism, for the study of resilience in urban education settings. The findings of the study indicate that the most educationally resilient students were those students who were able to access resources from the family, community, and school simultaneously. This research study has implications for urban education, social work practice, and women studies.
