This book explores the relationship between social justice
practices and the Arts in Education. It argues that social justice
practices, at their best, should awaken our senses and the ability
to imagine alternatives that can sustain the collective work
necessary to challenge entrenched patterns and practices. Chapters
display a range of arts-based pedagogies for challenging oppressive
practices in schools, community centers and other public sites. The
examples provided illustrate both the promise and on-going
challenge of enacting arts based social justice practices that can
transform consciousness and organize action toward justice and
social change. They show the power of arts-based pedagogies to
engage the imagination, reveal invisible operations of power and
privilege, provoke critical reflection, and spark alternative
images and possibilities. They also show the importance of on-going
critical reflection for this work with attention to both the
specificities of place and the obstacles (internal and external) to
maintaining a social justice stance in the face of contemporary
neoliberal discourses. This book was originally published as a
special issue of Equity & Excellence in Education.
Through accessible language and candid discussions, Storytelling
for Social Justice explores the stories we tell ourselves and each
other about race and racism in our society. Making sense of the
racial constructions expressed through the language and images we
encounter every day, this book provides strategies for developing a
more critical understanding of how racism operates culturally and
institutionally in our society. Using the arts in general, and
storytelling in particular, the book examines ways to teach and
learn about race by creating counter-storytelling communities that
can promote more critical and thoughtful dialogue about racism and
the remedies necessary to dismantle it in our institutions and
interactions. Illustrated throughout with examples drawn from
contemporary movements for change, high school and college
classrooms, community building and professional development
programs, the book provides tools for examining racism as well as
other issues of social justice. For every facilitator and educator
who has struggled with how to get the conversation on race going or
who has suffered through silences and antagonism, the innovative
model presented in this book offers a practical and critical
framework for thinking about and acting on stories about racism and
other forms of injustice. This new edition includes: Social science
examples, in addition to the arts, for elucidating the storytelling
model; Short essays by users that illustrate some of the ways the
storytelling model has been used in teaching, training, community
building and activism; Updated examples, references and resources.

This resource offers a powerful way to engage students, teachers,
and community groups in honest dialogue about the ongoing problems
of racism and what we can do to address them. The film tells the
story of the first African Americans to integrate the white high
school in Batesville, Mississippi in 1967-69. A provocative and
moving conversation emerges from separate discussions with African
American alumni, white alumni, and a third dialogue that brings the
two groups face-to-face. The 45-minute DVD and Discussion Guide can
be used to fruitfully explore several issues and related themes,
including the impact of desegregation on both students of colour
and white students, racial bullying, the impact on victims, the
responsibility of bystanders, and the role adults play in
perpetuating or interrupting racial microaggressions that
negatively impact students of colour. This dynamic resource:
Provides a powerful tool for training school and community leaders
to understand racism and promote policies and practices that are
inclusive of all members. Personalises the study of the Civil
Rights movement, grounding it in the stories of ordinary people who
lived through those tumultuous years. Offers a springboard for
reflecting on the failure to achieve integration goals since Brown
vs. Board of Education. Includes a Discussion Guide organized
across themes with selected questions to help facilitators frame
conversations around the learning needs of their particular group.
