Aimed at educators and community members seeking to build an anti-racist society, this book examines lived teaching and researching experiences which illustrate and challenge the inequities that arise in classrooms with diverse student bodies. The authors draw on the constructs of intersectionality and complexity to examine complex issues of race, language variety, religious practice, educational background, social status, family relationships, institutional and local context and historical memory.
Through honest and transparent reflection on authentic occurrences the book invites readers to acknowledge the political and practical constraints they face, critically reflect on their own practice, and from this develop pedagogies and practical actions to better serve the communities within which they live and work. Readers seeking to build an anti-racist society will benefit from these inspirational narratives of courage in the face of inequities in daily life, classrooms and communities.
This exciting new edited volume explores how teachers, teacher educators, and researchers can build anti-racist communities by centering intersectional identities. Drawing from both US and global contexts, chapters invite authors to engage in critical reflection, dialogue, and concrete, sustained action toward more just classrooms, institutions, and coalition-based community partnerships. * Kendall A.

Through engagement with varied settings, methodologies, and approaches, each chapter of this book offers an opportunity for growth, discovery, and courage. Uniquely organized across within-group, cross-group, multilingual, and institutional perspectives, the volume provides educators and researchers with tangible pathways for sustained antiracist collaboration and educational equity. * María Cioè-Peña, University of Pennsylvania, USA *
