Praise for the previous edition: Social justice is a term that is increasingly over-used and for that reason runs the risk of becoming cliche. This volume clarifies and brings texture to the meaning of the term by addressing its relevance and importance to the field of education. For those interested in using education to counter injustice, inequality and racism, this book will be an invaluable resource. --Pedro Noguera, Author of City Schools and the American Dream A landmark in its field, this book provides the conceptual framework, historical background, and rationale for understanding the necessity and significance of social justice education. In this second edition, the editors and authors continue to enlighten, educate, and inspire all those teachers, academics, and others who refuse to accept the status quo of oppression and instead insist on working for a better world. --Sonia Nieto, Author of Affirming Diversity: The Sociopolitical Context of Multicultural Education
