The phrase 'the edge of race' can be used both as a description and
as a response to two key concerns. The first of these is that while
race is increasingly on the periphery of education policy - with a
growing disregard shown for racist inequities, as education systems
become dominated by market-driven concerns - it is important that
we map the shifting relations of race in neoliberal politics and
policies. The second concern is that at this time, within and
outside the spaces of the academy, even to mention race equity is
to risk condemnation, marginalization, and ridicule. The authors in
this collection use 'the edge of race' as a provocation in order to
examine the concepts, methodologies, policies, politics, processes,
and practices associated with race and racism in education. The
chapters offer empirical examples of the perpetuation and
perniciousness of racism that point to the continued salience of
research about race. Additionally, the chapters make contributions
to conceptual and methodological understandings of race and racism.
The contributors illustrate the contingency, productivity, and
fragility of race as a concept, and point to how educational
research continues to be a contested site in, and from which to
study, race and education. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of
Education.
