This timely book examines how fascist ideology has taken hold among
certain segments of American society and how this can be addressed
in curriculum and instruction. Vavrus presents middle, secondary,
and college educators and their students with a conceptual
framework for enacting a critical multicultural pedagogy by
analyzing discriminatory discourse and recommending civic
anti-fascist steps people can take right now. For teacher education
programs and policymakers, anti-fascist civic assessment rubrics
are provided. To help clarify contemporary debates over what can be
taught in public schools, an advance organizer highlights contested
and misunderstood terminology. Featuring historical and
contemporary patterns of fascist politics, this accessible text is
organized in four parts: "Good Trouble," Unpacking Ideological
Orientations, Indicators of Colonial Proto-Fascism and U.S. Fascist
Politics, and An Anti-Fascist "Reading the World." Readers will
come away with a deeper knowledge base that marshalls a century of
anti-fascist actions in response to contemporary acts of racism,
anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, gender and sexuality discrimination,
bias against Latinx and migrant populations, and other actions that
undermine our democracy and harm marginalized students and their
families and communities. Book Features: A groundbreaking framework
for incorporating anti-fascist pedagogical concepts into
multicultural education Descriptions of common characteristics of
historical fascism, far-right extremism, and anti-fascism.
Anti-fascist assessment rubrics for teacher educators. Guidance to
assist classroom teachers in contextualizing current anti-democracy
events. Recommended and annotated anti-fascist background readings
informed by critical, theoretical, and intersectional perspectives.
