This book captures the struggle for identity, the fight for recognition, the disillusion with school and the desire to be seen, to be included, and to be counted. It is an unflinching look from the heart of our educational system at the segregation, bias, and oppression that is part of the daily lives of so many students and teachers.
Voices for Diversity and Social Justice: A Literary Education Anthology is an unflinching exploration through poetry, prose, and art of the heart of our educational system-of the segregation, bias, and oppression that are part of the daily lives of so many students and educators. It is also a series of poetical insights into the fights for liberation and resistance at the heart of many of the same students' and teachers' lives. The contributors-youth, educators, activists, others-share what it is like to face discrimination, challenge unjust policy, or subvert monotony by cultivating a vibrant, equitable, revolutionary school environment.
