For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood... and the Rest of Y'all Too: Reality Pedagogy and Urban Education by Christopher Emdin

5.0

Dr. Emdin provides a wealth of knowledge for understanding, examining, and dismantling classroom colonialism while prioritizing the celebration and incorporation of neoindigenous cultures and customs. His delicate, detailed explanations of how and why the classroom needs to be changed to empower, value, and learn from youth of color (particularly in urban education systems) provide thought provoking and actionable steps for collaborating with students instead of colonizing them. This is a great read for anyone working in or alongside the public education system. I wish he wrote books on social work, too!
