Cathy Benedict's book comes at a most needed time in our educational and political history. She provides resources for opening up topics of race, gender, socioeconomics, bullying and religion in music and across school classrooms. Benedict's book offers many practical strategies for teaching social justice in K-8 music and beyond. This book might make teachers uncomfortable, but in a very welcoming way.
Cathy Benedict is Associate Professor of Music Education at Western University and co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Social Justice and Music Education (2015)
