Walking the Color Line: The Art and Practice of Anti-Racist Teaching (Teaching for Social Justice, 3)

At the heart of this volume and central to current efforts to improve public education is the attempt to create anti-racist, democratic, student-centered schools. Mark Perry shows how racially mixed teaching faculties can model democratic ideals and how white teachers and administrators of color can effectively deal with their differences. As a former principal and teacher, he is committed to developing and implementing a culturally relevant curriculum that offers realistic alternatives to inaction. An honest, readable, and succinct account of real-life teaching, this book provides a framework as well as valuable insight for all educators, parents, and community activists who work toward social justice, particularly at the grassroots level.Mark Perry is the author of 'Walking the Color Line: The Art and Practice of Anti-Racist Teaching (Teaching for Social Justice, 3)', published 2000 under ISBN 9780807739648 and ISBN 0807739642.
