The text includes strategies, resources, and classroom examples for implementing the learning themes in early childhood settings. Taking multicultural education to a new level, this practical * Places the development of white children’s racial identity in the context of the historical construction of "whiteness" and racism in America.* Suggests strategies for nurturing a new white identity as the starting place for anti-bias/multicultural work with children.* Offers ways to expand children’s interests and concerns beyond their immediate world to instill a sense of caring and connection toward people different from them and to encourage seeing themselves as agents of change.* Includes activities for families and staff, reflection questions, a review of white anti-racism activists, lists of suggested children’s books, and organizational and website resources.
