Is being colorblind the most effective way to address overt and covert racism in schooling today? Should educators pretend that race doesn't matter?
Award-winning sociologist Laurie Cooper Stoll argues that, as long as society is stratified along racial lines, taking a colorblind approach will never end racial inequalities in schooling. Educators must strive to be color-conscious and actively engage in antiracism if they want to address prejudice and discrimination in education and the wider society. If not, they end up perpetuating racial inequity and white supremacy, whether intentionally or not. Drawing on her research and professional development with educators as well as her experience as a publicly elected school board member, Stoll illustrates the complexities, contradictions, and consequences of colorblindness in schools and provides concrete suggestions for people coming to racial justice work in education from multiple entry points.

"This book is a great antidote to the persistent widespread belief across the country that colorblindness is the racially progressive approach to dealing with racial matters in schools. Stoll provides those concerned with racial equity a clear and direct path away from colorblind racism and towards a real commitment to substantive transformation."

"Laurie Cooper Stoll challenges and inspires us to 'imagine the impact' we can have if we collaborate to put equity first in our advocacy. When equity is 'non-negotiable,' anything is possible for all students."
