A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2013! Educating Activist Allies
offers a fresh take on critical education studies through an
analysis of social justice pedagogy in schools serving communities
privileged by race and class. By documenting the practices of
socially committed teachers at an urban private academy and a
suburban public school, Katy Swalwell helps educators and
educational theorists better understand the challenges and
opportunities inherent in this work. She also examines how students
responded to their teachers' efforts in ways that both undermined
and realized the goals of social justice pedagogy. This analysis
serves as the foundation for the development of a curricular
framework helping students to foster an "Activist Ally" identity:
the skills, knowledge, and dispositions necessary to negotiate
privilege in ways that promote justice. Educating Activist Allies
provides a powerful introduction to the ways in which social
justice curricula can and should be enacted in communities of
privilege.
