Critical Pedagogy and Race

Herausgeber: Leonardo, Zeus

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Critical Pedagogy and Race argues that a rigorous engagement with race is a priority for educators concerned with equality in schools and in society. Comprising twelve scholarly contributions, the book brings together a melange of theories on race, including Afro-centric, Latino-based and postcolonial perspectives, as well as historical studies, and social justice ideas on activism in education. The contributors endorse racial analysis, problematize it, expand it, and in the end enrich it. In doing so, they question popular concepts such as white privilege, color-blind perspectives, and race-neutral pedagogies. The publication of this volume marks a shift by strengthening race-based analysis in critical pedagogy, a field which has traditionally focused on class relations.

Rezensionen

In this text, critical race theory in education approaches itsadolescence. It has moved from the dependency of infancy where itcould only be made understandable in the context of legalscholarship, to the uncertain steps of childhood where it keptlooking elsewhere for approval, to the exciting, brash, and evenrebellious period of its teenaged years. In this text it seeks itsidentity, defines a new way of being, and makes adults payattention. Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Professor inUrban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison

A book for all concerned about education for multiracialdemocracy. Critical pedagogy here meets critical race theory forthe first time in a substantial framing. These pioneering scholarsof education and communications go where few have gone before todevelop a vital pedagogy taking institutionalized racism seriously.Formulating an educational perspective foregrounding white racismand privilege, these savvy educators press for a deep considerationof major anti-racist strategies in 21st century education.
