"This book is a great antidote to the persistent widespread belief across the country that colorblindness is the racially progressive approach to dealing with racial matters in schools. Stoll provides those concerned with racial equity a clear and direct path away from colorblind racism and towards a real commitment to substantive transformation."
Amanda Lewis, Director of the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago
"Laurie Cooper Stoll challenges and inspires us to 'imagine the impact' we can have if we collaborate to put equity first in our advocacy. When equity is 'non-negotiable,' anything is possible for all students."
Heather DuBois Bourenane, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Public Education Network
