Racism Antiracism Real School Cl

This text focuses on racism in the policy, research, theory and practice of education. It includes a study of anti-racism at the level of whole-school management and classroom practice. The words of teachers and students are included to bring the issues to life and to illustrate the daily problems of life in urban schools. The author explores such questions as: how are "race" and "racism" implicated in education policy and practice?; what does effective antiracism look like in practice?; how can teachers and school students be encouraged to think critically about their racialized assumptions and actions? This book provides a picture of the key matters facing managers, classroom teachers and their students as schools struggle to develop strong and workable approaches to anti-racist education. It is accompanied by a critical review of current debates and controversies concerning "race", ethnicity and identity.
