Full Description
This book invites readers to reimagine a movement for educational justice, one in which justice workers recognize imperialist white supremacist capitalist cis-hetero patriarchy as the broad, interlocking system of domination that continues to oppress historically marginalized students, whose rights are presently being vehemently opposed by those who fear an egalitarian society that no longer privileges whiteness. This work also examines bans on "wokeness," illustrating the regressive and assaultive nature of current attacks. Important, too, it offers guidance for those seeking direction about how to advance educational justice for all students whose rights are being threatened.
