This handbook is a timely response to the persistent silences and omissions about race and racial injustice in and through the arts in education. Such gaps continue even as patterned instances of racial violence and exploitation play out in the media and society. This book thus mobilizes the conceptual tools of critical race theory to examine how whiteness and white supremacy manifest, and are legitimated, through discourses, visual representations, and practices of the arts in education. This work explores wide-ranging questions about the arts as white property while maintaining a focus on the ways in which white identity and the racial frames of whiteness take hold and contribute to inequality. While this kind of work has not been taken up by the arts in education mainstream, the overwhelming response to the call for papers for the proposed Handbook is a clear indication that a new wave of scholarship is emerging and stands to make a radical intervention in the field.
