Artists have always had a role in imagining a more socially just,
inclusive world-many have devoted their lives to realizing this
possibility. In a culture ever more embedded in performance and the
visual, examining the role of arts in multicultural teaching for
social justice is a timely focus. In Activist Art in Social Justice
Pedagogy approaches to using activist art to teach a multicultural
curriculum are examined and critiqued. Examples of activist artists
and their strategies illustrate how study of and engagement in
activist art processes glocally-connecting local and global
issues-can deepen critical literacy and commitment to social
justice. This book is relevant to those (1) interested in teaching
more about artist/activist social movements around the globe, (2)
preparing pre-service teachers to teach for social justice, (3)
concerned about learning how to engage diverse learners through the
arts, (4) teaching courses related to arts-based multicultural
education, critical literacy, and culturally relevant teaching. As
we think more broadly we address the question "why does a 'social
justice through the arts in education' approach make sense";
describe examples of preservice teacher assignments examining
artists' roles in activist movements, promoting multicultural
understanding and social justice; and share approaches to and
examples of using the arts in the United States and abroad to
deepen multicultural comprehension and teaching for social justice.
