Raza Struggle and the Movement for Ethnic Studies: Decolonial
Pedagogies, Literacies, and Methodologies presents an investigation
of decolonization in the context of education and what this means
for ethnic studies projects. It accomplishes this exploration by
looking at the history of Raza communities, defined broadly as the
Indigenous and mestizo working class peoples from Latin America,
with a focus on the complex yet unifying Chicanx-Mexican experience
in the Southwest United States. This book bridges the fields of
history, pedagogy, and decolonization through a creative and
interweaving methodology that includes critical historiography,
dialogue, autoethnography, and qualitative inquiry. Collectively,
this work opens new ground, challenging scholars and educators to
rethink critical education rooted in traditional and Western
frameworks. Arguing for decolonial and Indigenous approaches, the
author invites educators and cultural workers to reflect on
learning and community in their praxis. Raza Struggle and the
Movement for Ethnic Studies will be of interest to students of
ethnic studies and Latin American and Mexican history. It is also
relevant to teachers, teacher educators, and scholars who are
intent on creating spaces of hope and possibility rooted in
Freirean, decolonial, and Indigenous frameworks.
This timely and compelling book conceptualizes Ethnic Studies not
only as a vehicle to transform and revitalize the school curriculum
but also as a way to reinvent teaching. Drawing on Sleeter's
research review on the impact of Ethnic Studies commissioned by the
National Education Association (NEA), the authors show how the
traditional curriculum's Eurocentric view of the world affects
diverse student populations. The text highlights several
contemporary exemplars of curricula-from classroom level to
district or state-wide-illustrating core concepts in Ethnic Studies
across a variety of disciplines and grade levels. A final chapter
considers how research on P-12 ethnic studies can be conceptualized
and conducted in ways that further both advocacy and program
sustainability. Transformative Ethnic Studies in Schools is
essential reading for educators working to transform schools by
rehumanizing learning spaces for all students.Book Features:
Explores how the traditional curriculum is not ideologically
neutral and the effect that has on both students of color and White
students. Situates Ethnic Studies within anti-racist movements to
decolonize schooling. Illustrates the transformative potential of
contemporary Ethnic Studies projects. Draws on the insights of
Ethnic Studies teachers, researchers, and activists from across the
United States. Updates and expands on NEA's synthesis of the
research on the academic and social value of Ethnic Studies.
