Reviews

“Dr. Blumenfeld’s new book is borne of his passion for social justice and multicultural understanding of today’s society. Blumenfeld brings the topic into the realm of the familiar by sharing his own personal journey. It almost feels as if the reader is sitting with Dr. Blumenfeld, a friend, and yet this is a powerful educational text. Blumenfeld uses a unique presentation method and grounding of information through the concept of What, So What, and Now What in each section as he investigates and addresses complex and multidimensional questions. This process offers a consistency in Dr. Blumenfeld’s presentation. The book is an excellent teaching tool for every level of social justice education from high school to doctoral work.” Ronni Sanlo, Director of and Professor in UCLA Master of Education in Student Affairs Program and Director Emerita, UCLA Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Center “I learned so much from «The What, the So What, and the Now What of Social Justice Education», and so can you! Read this book as soon as possible! It is powerful, informationally rich, and an important resource that you need to have!” Nicholas D. Hartlep, Associate Professor of Urban Education and Graduate Program Coordinator, Metropolitan State University, School of Urban Education
