This book is motivated by our work with students and their families
in urban communities, and the urgent imperative to address the
endemic educational and societal inequities that pervade the lives
of urban students, particularly those who live in poverty, are of
minority and immigrant backgrounds, and are otherwise marginalized
within current educational discourses and practices. In spite of
the fact that over the last three decades policy makers, educators
and communities across the globe have called for in-depth
structural adjustments to urban education, these changes are rarely
evidenced in the academic and practitioner spheres. On the
contrary, guided by normative assumptions that ignore the realties
of students' lives, narrow outsider notions of what ought to be
continue to focus on deviance and constrain urban students within
restrictive boundaries. These underlying discourses, in the form of
deficit beliefs, thoughts, and actions, shape urban research,
theory, and practice and blind prospective change agents to
students' strengths, and delimit the transformative potential of
social justice praxis within urban environments. This volume brings
together a range of scholars from Canada and the United States that
present a variety of different lenses on issues of diversity,
equity and social justice in urban schools. Their analyses
highlight the richness and complexity of urban education, and
illustrate how multiple theoretical and practical configurations of
difference impact students, their families and communities, and
facilitate or hinder the creation of inclusionary learning
environments.
