I read this book in one sitting because each of the chapters within the six parts is intellectually illuminating. The authors provide powerful teaching insights based upon authentic classroom knowledge and understanding of schooling that is valuable learning for educators and students. Each chapter provides a critical analysis of how oppression operates in classrooms, and how anti-oppressive education can combat these conditions. The six lenses for anti-oppressive education (authoritative discourses, hidden curriculum, learning to read critically, addressing resistance, complicating race and racism, and situating anti-oppressive education) examined in the book are key areas that teacher-candidates need to understand in order to be successful teachers of all students. With this publication, Kumashiro and Ngo have greatly advanced the anti-oppressive education discourse within the discussions of transformative education. (Carl C.
