Overview

Fourteen American and Canadian academics contribute 13 chapters placing race at the center of an understanding of social studies practices in education. They consider ways the curriculum, profession, policies, and the current embrace of technology conform to a racial script which makes race invisible.

Approach and Focus

By using critical race theory for their analyses, they prevent readers from turning to other factors to explain the ongoing inequities in schools and society, and direct educators to recognize the gap between what is taught in the classroom and the real lives of the students attending schools.
