Rezensionen

"Dr. Theodorea Regina Berry's new book, States of Grace: Counterstories of a Black Woman in the Academy, is the latest in a series of important works that continually force us to reckon with the interconnectedness of race and gender through the framework of critical race feminism. This book, which continues an important tradition of reflexive and transformational scholarship by critical Black women education scholars, draws on auto-ethnographic methods to reflect on the importance of engaged pedagogical practices that call attention to race and gender inequalities while warmly demanding and calling for a liberatory form of teaching and learning in the academy. This is an important book." -Marvin Lynn, Dean, Graduate School of Education, Portland State University
