Full Description
Multicultural Education for Educational Leaders: Critical Race Theory and Antiracist Perspectives is a riveting book that contains a compilation of powerful essays that cogently argue why multicultural education is important for educational leaders. Using a critical multicultural framework the contributors of this powerful book highlight the varying ways racism finds its way into schools. Essentialist in its tone the book might be considered straight talk or what some might describe as tell it like it is. Educational scholars and students will find a wide array of compelling essays that are written to disrupt the inequitable school policies and practices that contribute to the negative school experiences of African American students. Key features of this book include:
•Reflective Steps for Educational Leaders
•Discussion Questions designed help educational leaders critically reflect on pertinent issues facing educational leaders
