Recenzje

"In this time of bolstered white supremacy locally and throughout the world, I can imagine few interventions as timely and urgent as «Critical Multicultural Perspectives on Whiteness». Lea, Lund, and Carr have assembled a stunning range of writings-from both earlier and contemporary scholars-who lay bare the endemic and enduring nature of whiteness as normative ideology, its damage to educational and social justice, and our role in dismantling and reimagining race. Packed with troubling insights, this book is one I must read again. Read and reread this book and answer its call to action." Kevin Kumashiro, Author of «Against Common Sense»; former Dean of the School of Education, University of San Francisco
