Recenzje

"Justice in Search of Leaders: A Handbook for Equity-Driven School Leadership should be required reading for every teacher, administrator, and psychologist, no matter how many degrees they possess. In a nutshell, this is what it's all about-that when we talk of ignorance about 'race', what we're actually talking about is skin color. I hope that this book will cause its readers to see the world in an entirely different way, and to appreciate their fellow human beings as they never have prior to reading this remarkable work. Until we rid ourselves of the belief in several different races, and begin to realize, recognize, and admit we are all members of the same race, the human race, we will continue to treat others in less than human ways. In denying the humanity of others, we de-humanize ourselves." -Jane Elliott, Creator of the Blue Eyes-Brown Eyes Exercise; Internationally-Known Teacher, Lecturer, and Diversity Trainer
