With this fresh and engaging new pedagogical vision, Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family structure and building communities within the classroom, using culturally relevant strategies like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and connecting the experiences of urban youth to indigenous populations globally. Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, Emdin demonstrates how by implementing the “Seven C’s” of reality pedagogy in their own classrooms, urban youth of color benefit from truly transformative education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eFor White Folks Who Teach in the Hood...and the Rest of Y'all Too\u003c\/i\u003e has been featured in MotherJones.com, \u003ci\u003eEducation Week\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWeekend All Things Considered with Michel Martin\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDiverse: Issues in Higher Education\u003c\/i\u003e, PBS NewsHour.com, \u003ci\u003eSlate\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eScholastic Administrator Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEssence Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSalon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eColorLines\u003c\/i\u003e, Ebony.com, \u003ci\u003eHuffington Post\u003c\/i\u003e Education\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beacon","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47030841377008,"sku":"9780807028025","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780807028025_p0.jpg?v=1763742627","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780807028025","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
