Reviews"In this moment when forces are rallying to demonize all forms of difference, we must recommit to leveraging feminist, queer, and intersectional politics to trouble education. Rethinking Sexism, Gender, and Sexuality showcases a diverse sampling of possibilities for doing precisely that. Read and act on this book today!" - Kevin Kumashiro , author of Against Common Sense: Teaching And Learning Toward Social Justice and Dean of the University of San Francisco School of Education "One of the most important books I've read in a long time. It should be mandatory reading for anyone involved in education. The essays are so thoughtful and passionate-but, more than that, they're engaging. I found myself eager to get back to this collection, wanting to quote from every writer I read in here." - Jacqueline Woodson , award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming
