Recenzje

"Teaching for Justice & Belonging empowers parents and teachers to raise kind, creative anti-racist leaders for the next generation. Simple and practical, Tehia and Lucretia equip us to better see, understand, and dismantle racism so that our children can flourish. This is a book for every classroom and home library!"--Dr. Michelle Ami Reyes, Vice President of the Asian American Christian Collaborative and author of The Race-Wise Family"Parents and teachers know that the issues of race are profound and personal. The wisdom of this book starts in the very first pages. Filled with stories and personal reflections, their intimacy welcomes readers to a journey. A crucial resource not to be missed."--Gerardo Martí, William R. Kenan, Jr. Professor of Sociology at Davidson College and author of American Blindspot"In Teaching for Justice and Belonging, Dr. Berry and Dr. Glass provide, from their lived and learned personal and professional experiences, healthy soil in which to cultivate an anti-bias, anti-racism growth journey, leading readers away from fruitless performative actions to genuine transformation. This book will equip pre-service and in-service K-12 educators, as well as all adults who care for children, with the tools to overcome the negative impact of racialization and work together to develop and sustain the learning spaces and experiences our children deserve."--Afrika Afeni Mills, Author of Open Windows, Open Minds: Developing Antiracist, Pro-Human Students, and Education Consultant
