This book explores the relationship between social justice
practices and the Arts in Education. It argues that social justice
practices, at their best, should awaken our senses and the ability
to imagine alternatives that can sustain the collective work
necessary to challenge entrenched patterns and practices. Chapters
display a range of arts-based pedagogies for challenging oppressive
practices in schools, community centers and other public sites. The
examples provided illustrate both the promise and on-going
challenge of enacting arts based social justice practices that can
transform consciousness and organize action toward justice and
social change. They show the power of arts-based pedagogies to
engage the imagination, reveal invisible operations of power and
privilege, provoke critical reflection, and spark alternative
images and possibilities. They also show the importance of on-going
critical reflection for this work with attention to both the
specificities of place and the obstacles (internal and external) to
maintaining a social justice stance in the face of contemporary
neoliberal discourses. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Equity & Excellence in Education.
