  • Compilation of critical discourse on race and anti-racism, which works to decenter Eurocentric knowledge systems.
  • Authors engage in dialogue around the concept of race and practice of anti-racism, as they pertain to the nuances of both the Black/White binary and Black-White paradigm.
  • This collection of narratives examines conceptions of resistance through a call to action that challenges the positivist notion that there is one objective way of knowing.

About this book

This collection of essays generates important enquiries into the teaching and practice of anti-racism education, by way of working through conversations, contestations, and emotions as presented by a diverse group of strong women committed to social justice work in their own right. Throughout the collection, contemporary educational issues are situated within personal-political, historical and philosophical conversations, which work to broach the challenges and possibilities for students, educators, staff, administrators, policy makers, and community members who engage in critical anti-racism education. This work diverges from the existing scholarship by way of bringing new insights to the theoretical possibilities of resistance and futurity as voiced through pedagogues, practitioners and scholars in anti-racism. In this book the authors speak to the importance of anti-racism discursivity in a time when even those who desire to engage this framework struggle to be heard; in a time when there are anti-racism policies in institutions, yet to speak anti-racism philosophy remains dangerous; and in a time when, to speak race and anti-racism, is considered to be stirring up trouble in the face of post-racial discourses.
