Politics of Anti-Racism Education: In Search of Strategies for Transformative Learning (Explorations of Educational Purpose Book 27)

"This collection of essays invites readers to think through critical questions concerning anti-racism education, such as: How does anti-racism education centre race as an analytic and simultaneously work with multiple sites of oppression, without reifying hierarchies of difference? How can anti-racism education be engaged to speak to historical questions of power and privilege, within conventional schooling practices? How do we recognize anti-racism education in its many iterations? In this book the authors explore the knowledge that constitutes anti-racism education and the ways in which knowledge constitutive of anti-racism education becomes embodied through particular pedagogues. The authors are anti-racism educators with experiences in diverse settings: the chapters cover various fields and socio-historic geographies, address contemporary educational issues, and are situated within personal-political, historical and philosophical conversations. Anti-racism education is a discursive stance and steeped in politics that shape and are shaped by everyday conversations, theories, and practices. The essays in this collection work through many of the possibilities and limitations of engaging in counter-hegemonic education for transformative learning. Readers will discover lived experiences, theory, practice and critical reflexivity."--Font no determinada Front Matter....Pages i-viii Introduction to the Politics of Anti-Racism Education: In Search of Strategies for Transformative Learning....Pages 1-11 Front Matter....Pages 13-13 A Prism of Educational Research and Policy: Anti-Racism and Multiplex Oppressions....Pages 15-28 Homonormativity Inside Out: Reading Race and Sexuality Into an LGBT Film Festival Opening Gala....Pages 29-41 Progressive Discipline, Regressive Education: The Systematic Exclusion of Black Youth In and Through Expulsion Programmes....Pages 43-58 Front Matter....Pages 59-59 Moving Towards an Anti-racism Curriculum....Pages 61-69 “Aboriginal Education” in Teacher Education: Beyond Cultural Inclusions....Pages 71-86 Indigenous Education in Colonizing Space: Reflections on the Law, Education, and Indigenous Rights in Chile....Pages 87-107 Front Matter....Pages 109-109 ‘You Make Our Lives Better’: Education and the Detention of Tamil Refugee Children....Pages 111-120 The Single Story of Somalia and Western Media Misrepresentations....Pages 121-134 Multiculturalism: The Missing Bodies and Voices....Pages 135-147 To Speak, Know, Live and Feel ‘Asian’: For an Anti-racist Approach on the Study of Asians in Canada....Pages 149-161 Front Matter....Pages 163-163 Honoring Gaswentah: A Racialized Settler’s Exploration of Responsibility and Mutual Respect as Coalition Building with First Peoples....Pages 165-174 Entre el Aquí y el Allá: International Schooling and the Colonized Mind....Pages 175-189 (Re)Turning Home: An Exploration in the (Re)Claiming of Identity and Belonging....Pages 191-210 Mo(ve)ments of Affect: Towards an Embodied Pedagogy for Anti-racism Education....Pages 211-226 Back Matter....Pages 227-239 This collection of essays invites readers to think through critical questions concerning anti-racism education, such as: How does anti-racism education centre race as an analytic and simultaneously work with multiple sites of oppression, without reifying hierarchies of difference?
