This book won the 2014 AESA (American Educational Studies
Association) Critics Choice Award. Engaging Culture, Race and
Spirituality addresses a critical question rarely addressed in our
conversations and the literature about race, culture and diversity:
How might spirituality and our inner lives matter in teaching and
teacher education that explicitly engages and addresses race and
culture? In ways explicit and embodied, this book focuses on how
engaging spirituality and the inner life can serve as radical
intervention in our dialogues about race and culture in education.
Gathered together are the voices of emerging young scholars whose
thinking and research explicitly marshal theories of spirituality
as critical interventions in their dialogues and discourses about
culture and race in teaching and teacher education. Each chapter is
followed by a scholar visionary who points to ways for educators
and educational researchers to see the usefulness of such
spirituality in engaging research, pedagogy and practices. Their
collective visions - all deeply political, sometimes humorous,
always insightful, and thoughtfully provocative - call us to a new
way of thinking about the "evidence of things unseen", about
spirituality in education as a site of profound possibilities for
change, equity, and social justice.

The movement and dispersion of African ascendant peoples around the
globe has been historically rooted in struggle and oppression.
Whether through slavery, colonialism, or the economic fallout of
both, we are always in a state of renegotiating and recreating
identities wherever we have found ourselves in the Diaspora. In our
displacement, contestations have arisen about which groups have the
most legitimate claim to the continent of Africa. The issues that
arise include naming (the names we bear and naming the feminist
spirit in which Black women do work on behalf of each other),
African identities (who is really an African?), cultural memory
(how do the ways we remember and the things we remember shape who
we are as African ascendant people?), and what methodologies best
serve the work we do on behalf of African people. (Im)migrations,
Relations, and Identities thoughtfully researches and discusses
these issues.
