As women educators of color, we all agree that the socio-political climate prevailing in the United States of America, since the aftermath of the 2016 election, requires unprecedented agency. The book provides space for Black women educators–African Americans, Naturalized Black Americans, and Foreign-born Blacks from Africa, the Caribbean Islands and South America (e.g., Guyana)–to have a candid conversation with their young children—sons and daughters, nephews and nieces—about the roadblocks they are likely to face as minority youth of color in their pursuit of greatness and the reminder that they have a role model in President Obama to look up to in moments of extreme frustration and exasperation. Voices of engaged educators of color are indispensable to make sure that children understand that that despite a-360-degree turn from eight consecutive years of a reassuring message that “change had come”, that paradise had been gained, into the threatening message of “making America white again”, we count on them to regain the paradise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePerfect for courses such as:\u003c\/b\u003e Racism and Education Inequality in the Lives of African-American\u003cbr\u003e Youth, Introduction to the African Diaspora, Equity and Diversity in Schools, Place, Language, Power and Knowledge, Global and Multicultural Education in the\u003cbr\u003e Secondary School, Issues in Urban Education, Culture Power and Education, Social Class Education and Pedagogy, Language, Culture, and Education, The\u003cbr\u003e Politics of Literacy and Race in Schools, Race and Racism in Education and\u003cbr\u003e Society, Race, Ethnicity and Linguistic Diversity in Classrooms and\u003cbr\u003e Communities, and Education and Society.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mallon Publishing Pty Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47062962438384,"sku":"9781975501105","price":149.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781975501105_p0.jpg?v=1763670630","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781975501105","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
