The Handbook of Social Justice in Education -- a comprehensive, up-to-date review of the field -- addresses, from multiple perspectives, education theory, research, and practice in historical and ideological context, with an emphasis on social movements for justice. Each of the nine sections explores a primary theme of social justice and education:

• Historical and Theoretical Perspectives

• Race and Ethnicity, Language and Identity: Seeking Social Justice in Education
• Gender, Sexuality and Social Justice in Education
• Bodies, Disability and the Fight for Social Justice in Education
• Youth and Social Justice in Education
• Globalization: Local and World Issues in Education
• The Politics of Social Justice Meets Practice: Teacher Education and School Change
• Classrooms, Pedagogy, and Practicing Justice

Timely and essential, this is a must-have volume for researchers, professionals, and students across the fields of educational foundations, multicultural/diversity education, educational policy, and curriculum and instruction.

Recenzje

"While providing theoretical arguments, the handbook provides concrete examples and experiences….this volume is a rich compendium of events; of the works of social movements and activists; and of school and classroom practices that illustrate how social justice can be achieved in education."--Education Review, May 2010
