This book draws on critical race theories and teachers'
testimonials grounded in 20 years of teaching experiences to reveal
the ways in which racial and cultural biases are embedded in school
curricula, and both their intended and unintended consequences on
the learning and well being of students of color. More
specifically, this book examines how these biases have played a
significant role in the mis-education, misrepresentation, and
marginalization of African American, Native American, Latino and
Asian students. But the analysis doesn't stop there. The author
goes beyond the school walls to underscore how systemic racism,
paired with colonialism, has impacted the lives of racially
marginalized groups in both the United States and developing
countries. This book uncovers these injustices and proposes
alternative ways in which racism can be unschooled.
