This book draws on critical race theories and teachers'
testimonials grounded in 20 years of teaching experiences to reveal
the ways in which racial and cultural biases are embedded in school
curricula, and both their intended and unintended consequences on
the learning and well being of students of color. More
specifically, this book examines how these biases have played a
significant role in the mis-education, misrepresentation, and
marginalization of African American, Native American, Latino and
Asian students. But the analysis doesn't stop there. The author
goes beyond the school walls to underscore how systemic racism,
paired with colonialism, has impacted the lives of racially
marginalized groups in both the United States and developing
countries. This book uncovers these injustices and proposes
alternative ways in which racism can be unschooled.
At the time of Obama's draconian anti-immigrant policies leading to
massive deportation of undocumented, poor immigrants of colour,
there could not be a more timely and important book than this
edited volume, which critically examines ways in which immigration,
race, class, language, and gender issues intersect and impact the
life of many immigrants, including immigrant students. This book
documents the journey, many success-stories, as well as stories
that expose social inequity in schools and U.S. society. Further,
this book examines issues of social inequity and resource gaps
shaping the relations between affluent and poor-working class
students, including students of colour. Authors in this volume also
critically unpack anti-immigrant policies leading to the separation
of families and children. Equally important, contributors to this
book unveil ways and degree to which xenophobia and linguicism have
affected immigrants, including immigrant students and faculty of
colour, in both subtle and overt ways, and the manner in which many
have resisted these forms of oppression and affirmed their
humanity. Lastly, chapters in this much-needed and well-timed
volume have pointed out the way racism has limited life chances of
people of colour, including students of colour, preventing many of
them from fulfilling their potential succeeding in schools and
society at large.

Drawing on critical race theory, this book critically examines race
through a mosaic lens pointing out various issues directly
connected to it, such as racial identity politics, racism,
multiracialism, interracial relationships, and the hegemony of
whiteness. This book goes further to analyze the manner in which
socially constructed racial stereotypes contribute to and are used
to justify the poor socio-economic situation and marginalization of
People of Color, particularly the poor ones. Designed for a broad
range of readers, this book aims to open up democratic spaces for
genuine discussions about racial issues.

Every century has witnessed the birth of a few world-transcending
intellectuals as well as talented emerging scholars. Noam Chomsky
and Pierre W. Orelus are no exception. Using dialogues exchanged
over the course of nine years, combined with heartfelt critical
essays, Chomsky and Orelus analytically examine social justice
issues, such as unbalanced relationships between dominant and
subjugated languages, democratic schooling, neoliberalism,
colonization, and the harmful effect of Western globalization on
developing countries, particularly on the poor living in those
countries. On Language, Democracy, and Social Justice offers a
unique perspective on these issues. Educators and scholar-activists
interested in challenging the long-standing status quo to inspire
transformative social, educational, and political change must read
this book.

A Decolonizing Encounter examines the effects of western
colonialism on historically marginalized and colonized populations
living both in the West and the "third world". Specifically, it
explores crucial issues such as the decolonizing of schools and
communities of color; the decentralization of power of the
capitalist and colonial state; globalization; democracy; and
struggle for political and economic justice for all peoples. This
book holds appeal particularly to committed social justice
educators, as well as scholars and community activists concerned
with the important issues of schooling, colonization, democracy,
and the right of all students to have access to quality and
democratic education. Given its interdisciplinary scope,
undergraduate and graduate students majoring in or interested in
disciplines such as education, colonial and postcolonial studies,
history, anthropology, sociology, and ethnic studies will find this
book deeply relevant to their intellectual formation and scholarly
interests.
Drawing on critical race theory and empirical data from case
studies involving fifty men of African descent, this book presents
a new perspective on black masculinity, maleness, sexism, and
institutional racism. The book situates black masculinity in a
racial, socio-historical, and postcolonial context to provide
innovative ways of understanding the profound effects of
institutional racism. Although its focus is primarily on people of
African descent, the book addresses issues concerning all races and
ethnicities, explores the harmful effects of sexism and homophobia
on women and queer people, and proposes practical steps that can be
taken to fight against socio-economic inequality and injustice that
is racially-, gender-, and sexually-based. Given the practical
nature and interdisciplinary dimension of this book, readers and
educators studying race, racism, sexism, and gender issues will
find it germane to their needs and their classes.
