Abstract:

"Making Sense of Race in Education: Practices for Change in Difficult Times takes a fresh look at the perennial issue of race in American schools. How do educators, in all settings, confront the issue of race with students and colleagues, given the contemporary backdrop of social movements for racial justice and change? How do educators affect change within their everyday classroom practices without fostering further alienation and discord? Although much has already been written about race and racism in school, this book addresses racial incidents directly and offers practical insights into how P-20 educators can transform these events alongside students and colleagues. Each chapter provides detailed analysis of curriculum, instruction, practices and pedagogical strategies for addressing race while at the same time wrestling with theoretical conceptions of race, justice, and fairness." -- Provided by publisher.

This edited collection incorporates diverse voices to elucidate interactions relating to race within education systems covering early childhood to academia. Discussions are organized and progressively introduce academic terms (e.g., critical race theory, microaggressions) that may be unfamiliar to some readers, while deconstructing key concepts such as privilege to convey their daily and long-term effects. Although topics are varied, the editors offer many contemplative analyses across settings with specific examples of addressing controversies as teachable moments rather than as negative occurrences to be avoided. This philosophical approach grants authors the opportunity to discuss identity, intersectionality, and the detrimental effects of such instances on individuals from diverse backgrounds. The chapter examining the deleterious repercussions of zero tolerance best illustrates the positive potential of this approach. Zero-tolerance policies have unfairly targeted K-12 students of color, resulting in disproportionate suspension and expulsion rates for those students over time. The authors not only explain the complicated topic of zero tolerance/school discipline, but communicate the urgency in identifying effective alternatives. While chapters may not be equally helpful to all readers (depending on their settings), the collective discussion offers beneficial insights into race in education for all readers. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through faculty; professionals. --Gerardo Moreno, Northeastern Illinois University
