N2  - This book centralizes the importance of using culturally relevant models within health promoting schools (HPS) to promote the participation of Black students. In current HPS models Black students are often overlooked. The author presses beyond the mainstream, science-focused research on HPS to grapple with issues of power, prejudice, and oppression and focus on the social determinants of health. By focusing on social constructs as a constraint to Black students' wellbeing (rather than only disease), chapters present a multidimensional whole-school intervention aimed at comprehensively bridging the empowerment gap between Black students and historically privileged students. Lawrence Nyika recently completed his PhD in Educational Studies at St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia. Currently, Lawrence is a part-time lecturer with the Institute for Capacity Development at Great Zimbabwe University. His research interests include health promoting schools, social determinants of health, and Black education.
