The third revised edition of "When Race Breaks Out" is a guide for
college and high school teachers who want to promote honest and
informed conversations about race and racism. Based on the author's
personal practice and interviews with students and faculty from a
variety of disciplines, this book combines personal memoirs,
advice, teaching ideas, and lively classroom vignettes. A unique
insideras guide to the salient ideas, definitions, and opinions
about race helps instructors answer students' questions and
anticipate their reactions, both to the material and to each other.
An extensive annotated bibliography of articles, books, and videos
with recommendations for classroom use is included.
"What do you think is meant by the term 'post-racial' and how far
do you think we've come, as a country, toward achieving it?" Helen
Fox, a white teacher and scholar, asked variations of this question
to 87 high school and college students, educators, administrators,
community organizers, international visitors, and tribal leaders
across the country. Their stories reveal how far we are from a
"post-racial" ideal - even in the most liberal of communities.
Despite her long experience as an anti-racist educator, Fox was
surprised to learn how deeply the lives of people of color continue
to be shaped by race, and how hard they have to work to ignore or
overcome assumptions, remarks, exclusion, and at times, blatant
hostility from whites. The kinds of racism they experience depend
on their gender, their religion, their geographical location, their
skin tone, their forms of speech and expression, their
socioeconomic class, their aspirations, their determination to be
outspoken or stoic, the kinds and amount of contact they choose to
have (or can't escape having) with whites, and of course, their
ascribed race. Despite our nation's "post-racial" climate,
racialized assumptions, beliefs, and denials affect everything,
from the reach of the national media down to the smallest
community: the street where one lives, the friends one attempts to
make, the social club, the study group, the classroom. As an art
educator remarked, "The 'post-racial' reminds me of the post-modern
- the fracturing of things. It's not like our society has finally
come together - unless we've come together as a fractured society
and we're feeling the prickliness of the broken shards."

These seven intimate, aphoristic talks were presented to a small
group on Steiner's final visit to England. Because they were given
to "pioneers" dedicated to opening a new Waldorf school, these
talks are often considered one of the best introductions to Waldorf
education. Steiner shows the necessity for teachers to work on
themselves first, in order to transform their own inherent gifts.
He explains the need to use humor to keep their teaching lively and
imaginative. Above all, he stresses the tremendous importance of
doing everything in the knowledge that children are citizens of
both the spiritual and the earthly worlds. And, throughout these
lectures, he continually returns to the practical value of Waldorf
education. These talks are filled with practical illustrations and
revolve around certain themes-the need for observation in teachers;
the dangers of stressing the intellect too early; children's need
for teaching that is concrete and pictorial; the education of
children's souls through wonder and reverence; the importance of
first presenting the "whole," then the parts, to the children's
imagination. Here is one of the best introductions to Waldorf
education, straight from the man who started it all.
