SynopsisLeading experts offer concrete and realistic strategies for dealing with race in schools in a groundbreaking book that should become required reading for every teacher in the country. Which acts by educators are "racist" and which are "antiracist"? How can an educator constructively discuss complex issues of race with students and colleagues? In Everyday Antiracism leading educators deal with the most challenging questions about race in school, offering invaluable and effective advice. Contributors including Beverly Daniel Tatum, Sonia Nieto, and Pedro Noguera describe concrete ways to analyze classroom interactions that may or may not be "racial," deal with racial inequality and "diversity," and teach to high standards across racial lines. Topics range from using racial incidents as teachable moments and responding to the "n-word" to valuing students' home worlds, dealing daily with achievement gaps, and helping parents fight ethnic and racial misconceptions about their children. Questions following each essay prompt readers to examine and discuss everyday issues of race and opportunity in their own classrooms and schools. For educators and parents determined to move beyond frustrations about race, "Everyday Antiracism" is an essential tool. - Contributors include: - Eduardo Bonilla-Silva - Prudence Carter - Thea Abu El-Haj - Ron Ferguson - Patricia Gandara - Ian Haney Lopez - Vivian Louie - Maria Ong - Paul Ongtooguk - Christine Sleeter - Angela Valenzuela, Winner, Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award The groundbreaking book on race in schools that has become an essential handbook for teachers working to create antiracist classrooms In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement and nationwide protests against police brutality, it's never been more important for educators and parents to ensure they're cultivating antiracist learning environments.

  • One angle only

    This is a great idea, to add a hundred opinionated writers in one book. The theme is fixed at colored races and occasionally brown. Very little of any mention of other perspectives so useless for a truly cultural relevant experience. Many of the chapters have impacting value of generalized to all forms or racial relevance, not just blacks. So, there are some real cool quotes throughout the clear bias.
