This book explores how teachers can re-examine their emotional
investments in enacting dominant settler values through changing
their text selection and teaching practices. Based on a
longitudinal qualitative research study conducted by a national
team of literacy scholars in collaboration with practicing literacy
teachers at eight sites across Canada, the book investigates how
groups of teachers, working collaboratively in inquiry groups,
develop and implement curriculum to promote their own and their
students’ understandings of social justice in postcolonial and
settler spaces. In particular, the book highlights the rich and
dynamic landscape of postcolonial authors, illustrators and texts,
the development of culturally- sensitive curricula, and critical
pedagogies possible in addressing contemporary and historical
issues, both local and global. This book is primarily of interest
to literacy scholars, literacy instructors (teacher educators) in
teacher education programs, educational leaders, practicing
teachers from the K-12 spectrum, and school district staff and
policy makers with responsibilities for or interests in the
potential of literacy and literature engagement for social justice
education. The book is also be of interest to postsecondary
educators and teacher educators wishing to use literature in social
justice, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive courses.
