This edited volume expands on the existent research on anti-racist
educational leadership by identifying what type of capacity
building is needed for school administrators to facilitate
anti-racist change in their schools. Racial inequities in education
persist in part because the solutions that districts and schools
choose to employ largely ignore why and how institutional and
structural racism is the root cause of inequities in education.
Yet, racial inequities in schooling can be redressed if districts
and schools have leaders who are deeply committed to combatting
racism in their daily practice and structures of schooling. This
book underscores why we need more educational leaders who adopt an
anti-racist stance in how they lead and are prepared to work toward
racial justice and equity in a society so entrenched in racism.
Through diverse perspectives and voices, including scholars in the
field of educational leadership, sociologists of education, school
and district administrators, and grassroots community members and
activist groups, this book addresses issues related to anti-racist
educational leadership at various levels.
