- Summary
- Argues that African American students should be taught to navigate and resist the racism perpetuated in every aspect of society and schools, and that to do so requires the development and expression of a culturally-rooted voice as a foundation for multicultural, multilingual, democratic communities. Knaus focuses on the voices, perspectives, and experiences of urban African American students, and on their writing, to remind educators of the power of voice, and how far schools are from addressing the reality of racism. From publisher description.
