ISBN: 9781433103452 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 485 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych.

The book problematizes the issue of whiteness, for instance, as not being the opposite of blackness or person-of-colorness, but rather a meta-description for our dominant culture. Issues are also addressed that are usually left out of the discussion about diversity and multiculturalism: this reader includes essays on physical diversity, geographic...

Crash Politics and Antiracism: Interrogations of Liberal Race Discourse
ISBN: 9781433102455 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Crash Politics and Antiracism argues that race and racism continue to script the social fabric in Euro-North America. While dominant discourses claim that we have made significant progress away from racial bigotry, there is no shortage of evidence that inequitable ideologies of race prevail. Similarly, mainstream cinematic productions have mass appeal, yet tend to demonstrate and cement the racial ideologies that circulate in society. As such, they can be used either for the propagation of dominant ideologies or in the development of critical consciousness. Crash Politics and...

It has also opened paths for politically productive and transformative forms of localized resistance(s).

This book challenges these tactics, while laying out a pedagogy of respect and...

Assault on Kids: How Hyper-Accountability, Corporatization, Deficit Ideologies, and Ruby Payne Are Destroying Our Schools
ISBN: 9781433112294 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Hyper-accountability, corporatization, deficit ideology, and Ruby Payne s preparation of teachers to comply with these and other atrocities are not merely markers of philosophical shifts in education. They are manifestations of a neoliberal remaking of public schooling into a private and corporate enterprise. Collectively, these trends are seen not just as an imposition, but as an assault on quality pedagogy; an assault on democratic ideals of equity and social justice; and an assault on kids compelled to participate simply because they are public school students. This edited collection is a...

The tensions often encountered in reading classrooms by adolescent readers between what is real and fantasy, artifact and image, object and perception are made manifest in this book, and the ways in which individuals shape, or are shaped by, sign and symbol systems or program elements that surround their learning and communicating environments are systematically...
