Recenzje

"Gloria Graves Holmes provides a passionate and clearly reasoned case for placing racial equity and social justice at the heart of any school change efforts. She challenges school administrators and teacher leaders to a higher calling for our work-not merely closing gaps and moving data points, but deconstructing the arrangements of social dominance that are the deeper causes of racial disparities. Holmes' lifetime of research and activism shines through in every chapter." -Gary R. Howard, Author of We Can't Teach What We Don't Know; Founder, The REACH Center for Multicultural Education; Civil Rights Activist and Tireless Advocate for Social Justice and Educational Equity
