Table of ContentsReviewsIn this insightful new collection of essays, James has presented a complex, and often disturbing, portrait of the educational experiences of Black students in Canada. Stereotyping, micro-aggressions, lowered expectations, and obstacles of all kinds obstruct the dreams and aspirations of too many. For those who seek to understand and intervene to make education a resource for equity and justice, this volume will be an invaluable resource. - Pedro A. Noguera, Dean, University of Southern California, Rossier School of Education These essays tell a story of over two decades of continuous Black struggles in Canada and elsewhere for justice. Told largely through encounters with formal educational institutions, Colour Matters plots the intractable nature of anti-Black racism in those institutions. James does not end there, though - he also shows how students, parents, and communities produce change and will continue to do so. These essays are an academic biography of sorts, mapping James's own intellectual journey as researcher and advocate. This is an achievement. - Rinaldo Walcott, Director, Women and Gender Studies Institute, and Associate Professor, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto Author InformationCarl E. James is a professor in the Faculty of Education at York University. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
