While many accept that math is a universal, culturally indifferent
subject in school, this book demonstrates that this is anything but
true. Building off of a historically conscious understanding of
school reform, Diaz makes the case that the language of
mathematics, and the symbols through which it is communicated, is
not merely about the alleged cultural indifference of mathematical
thinking; rather, mathematical teaching relates to historical,
cultural, political, and social understandings of equality that
order who the child is and should be. Focusing on elementary math
for all education reforms in America since the mid-twentieth
century, Diaz offers an alternative way of thinking about the
subject that recognizes the historical making of contemporary
notions of inequality and difference.
