This work explores the concept of structural reproduction and differentiation through the origins of, and basis for, Paul C. Mocombe’s Mocombeian Strategy (2005) and Reading Room Curriculum, published as Mocombe’s Reading Room Series (2007). It highlights how black American practical consciousness and the academic achievement gap are a product of capitalist forces, relations of production, and their ideological apparatuses. As such, it is argued here that, to resolve the gap, black Americans should be treated as immigrant students against their structurally differentiated identities.

Paul C. Mocombe is a former Visiting Professor of Philosophy and Sociology at Bethune Cookman University, USA, Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Sociology at West Virginia State University, and the President/CEO of The Mocombeian Foundation, Inc. A social theorist interested in the application of social theory to contemporary issues such as race, class, and capitalism (globalization), he is the author of Jesus and the Streets; Race and Class Distinctions within Black Communities; Language, Literacy, and Pedagogy in Postindustrial Societies; A Labor Approach to the Development of the Self or Modern Personality: The Case of Public Education; Education in Globalization; Mocombe’s Reading Room Series; and The Mocombeian Strategy: The Reason for, and Answer to Black Failure in Capitalist Education.
