Drawing from social-psychological conceptualizations and the author\u2019s own prior theorizing, this essay investigates how Black boys and young men matter to those within society and schools by summoning historical antecedents, empirical research and present-day examples. Three types of mattering emerge from this investigation.\u00a0<i>Marginal mattering<\/i>\u00a0is realized through societal and educational practices that criminalize, dismiss and propel Black boys and young men into school and social failure.\u00a0<i>Partial mattering<\/i>\u00a0signals the valuation of some of their skills and abilities (e.g. often athletic, artistic and heroic in nature) and those which leave racist systems unchallenged. In activating both Afropessimism and Afrofuturism, the author imagines through and beyond their present binds and instead advocates that stakeholders must develop a creative, radical and future-oriented imaginary for the robust, aspirational and\u00a0<i>comprehensive mattering<\/i>\u00a0of Black boys and young men.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Access to full article:<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1080\/09518398.2020.1753255<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roderick L.
