Produktbeschreibung

This third edition of Facing Racism in Education continues the work begun in the first and second editions of this widely acclaimed book: breaking the silence about the experiences of people of color in education. The new volume features equal measures of classic essays from the previous two editions and new essays written since 1996. Together they offer a complex and compelling view of race in today's education world. At a time when many in public life and public education are inclined to argue that racial issues and problems belong to a bygone era, this third edition of Facing Racism in Education makes clear the need for continued attention to and open discussion of race and education. From the Editors' Preface: "How can we as a nation 'move on' from the continued presence of racism in schools and public discourse about education when the 'problem of the color line' has not only persisted since DuBois' initial observation in 1903, but has in fact expanded to include the full spectrum of racial and ethnic groupings that we find in American society today? The contributors to this volume address the many forms of racism still present in today's schools and classrooms, yet they also bear witness to the courage and conviction of communities, students, and teachers who work to deconstruct the logic of racism in education and dismantle its structures. They remind us that, as we question how far we have come since Brown, we must also recommit ourselves to the daily work of undoing racism through antiracist practice. While some might ask, 'Aren't we done with this yet?' we maintain that, like democracy, diversity and a commitment to educational equity represent more than an 'outcome'; they are part of a process that each generation must take up, reinvent, and reinvigorate to ensure its continuation for generations to come." Contributors include Lilia I. Bartolome, Lisa D. Delpit, Donna Deyhle, Sandra Del Valle, Stacy J. Lee, Marilyn Cochran-Smith, and Beverly Daniel Tatum. Edited by Sonya L. Anderson, Polly F. Attwood, and Lionel C. Howard
