Educators, teacher practitioners, and social activists have
successfully used critical pedagogy as a tool to help marginalized
students develop awareness and seek alternative solutions to their
poor educational and socioeconomic situations. However, this theory
is often criticized as being mostly dominated by privileged white
males, bringing issues of race and gender to the forefront. This
volume provides insight on how critical pedagogy can be helpful to
scholars and teachers alike in their analysis of racial, gender,
linguistic and political problems. It features a wide range of
respected scholars who examine the way and the degree to which
critical pedagogy can be used to improve education for students of
color, women and other marginalized groups.

Orelus' valuable study draws on the scholarly work of sociocultural
and postcolonial theorists, as well as testimonies collected from
study participants, to explore accentism, the systemic form of
discrimination against speakers whose accents deviate from a
socially constructed norm. Orelus examines the manner in which
accents are acquired and the effects of such acquisition on the
learning and educational experiences of linguistically and
culturally diverse students. He goes on to demonstrate the ways and
the degree to which factors such as race, class, and country of
origin are connected with nonstandard accent-based discrimination.
Finally, this book proposes alternative ways to challenge and
counter the accentism that minority groups, including
linguistically and culturally diverse groups, have faced in schools
and in society at large. It will be of interest to all of those
concerned with linguistic/accent-based prejudice and the experience
of those who face it.
This book draws from interviews conducted with prominent social
justice educators and activist intellectuals, such as Noam Chomsky,
Gayatri Spivak, Stuart Hall, Henry Giroux, Antonia Darder, Molefi
Asante, and Maxine Greene, to examine various forms of social
inequities occurring in schools and society perpetrated by those in
power. These educators and intellectuals use examples drawn from
both personal and professional experiences and relevant literature
to point out the manner in which multiple forms of oppression
intersect, in both hidden and visible ways, to affect the lives of
oppressed groups and disfranchised communities. This book seeks to
shed light on various manifestations of social injustices aiming to
inspire critical, radical thoughts for socio-political action
leading to educational and social change.

Oftentimes, critical examinations of oppression solely focus on one
type and neglect others. In this single volume, Pierre Orelus
examines the way various forms of oppression, such as racism,
classism, capitalism, sexism, and linguicism (linguistic
discrimination) operate and limit the life chances people, across
various race, class, language, and gender lines, have. Utilizing
dialogue as a form of inquiry, Pierre Orelus conducts in-depth
interviews carried over the course of two years with committed
social justice educators and intellectuals from different fields
and foci to examine the way and the extent to which these forms of
oppression have profoundly affected the subjectivity and material
conditions of women, poor working-class people, queer people,
students of color, female faculty and faculty of color. This book
presents a novel and critical perspective on race, social class,
gender, and language issues echoed through authentic, collective,
and dissident voices of these educators and intellectuals.
