Reviews

""This secondary edition of Social Studies for a Better World arrives at a critical moment. Amid widespread attacks on social studies and democracy itself, Hall, Swalwell, and Rodríguez offer us critical hope, and a vision of anti-oppressive social studies grounded in justice, liberation, and collective thriving. With clarity, wit, and conviction, they show how social studies classrooms can be spaces of humanization, collective care, and people power. Like its elementary counterpart, this volume offers powerful examples of anti-oppressive teaching in practice, affirming that this work is not only possible but already underway, and that our responsibility is to join the collective struggle."" —Leilani Sabzalian, Assistant Professor of Indigenous Studies in Education and author of Teaching Indigenous Studies: An Introduction for K-12 Educators
