“This is a powerful text full of penetrating and persuasive analysis. What I enjoyed most is that it pulls back the curtains of power in a language that is accessible to multiple audiences. More importantly, the text weaves a politics of hope throughout. Many of the contributors, including Doug Selwyn, have been engaged in deep movement building and/or in theorizing and implementing transformative educational projects for years. A splendid achievement that will be integrated in multiple courses that I teach.”
—Ricardo D. Rosa, Associate Professor of Public Policy, University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
“I really like the book structure with the overarching themes that allow a reader to tackle heavy and important topics in a manageable and digestible fashion. This kind of book should be a staple in all teacher education programs! We should be grappling with these important questions at all levels of society and these conversations should be informing change and transformation.”
—Leslie Rome, Director, Youth and Teen Programs, University of Washington Continuum College
“This collection offers practical and unprecedented ideas from a diverse and prestigious group of educators with equally diverse lived experiences. They are committed to helping teachers rethink their starting points, unlearn harmful practices, and commit to ongoing growth. Student belonging, advocacy, and truth is at the heart of their work. Listen to the voices for change and read the inspired words on these pages. Repeat. You will be inspired by the abundance of innovative thought and perspective taking.”
—Aimee Lafontaine, English teacher, reading specialist and interventionist, Hinsdale South High School, Hinsdale, IL
