review: Editorial Reviews Review "Sensoy and DiAngelo's book is to social justice what the Chicago Manual of Style is to the art of writing." ― Racial Justice Book Group , Interfaith Council for Peace and Justice “This is a brilliant primer to help us consider what it means to think critically and to act for justice.” ― Bill Bigelow , Rethinking Schools magazine “I commend the direction of this book that addresses concepts such as social and institutional power, socialization, and oppression rather than framing social and political inequality as the consequences of behavioral problems and cultural misunderstandings. The approach the authors have taken supports teachers and their students in rethinking the ways in which the problems of inequality have been normalized as everyday practices. The book will help teachers to rethink inequality in systemic terms and to find opportunities for taking action at any moment.” ― Carol Schick , Associate Professor, Faculty of Education, University of Regina “The most accessible book on social justice I have ever read! The authors speak truth to power and in language we can all understand. I can't wait to use this text. The authors demonstrate that important concepts about social justice and political change can be both understandable and engaging. This is a huge contribution to the field.” ―Mara Sapon-Shevin, Professor, School of Education, Syracuse University "This timely book offers a reader-friendly, unflinching approach to answering those questions on social justice that people are often afraid to ask. The authors provide clear definitions, recognizable examples, robust counterpoints, and thought-provoking activities. All critical educators need to get this text in the hands of their students." ― Darren E.
