Equity in Schools and Society draws on history, sociology, literature, cultural expressions, films, and theory to examine equity issues that effect the teaching and learning process. The readings in this collection sensitize teachers to the restrictions race, class, and gender place on providing education that is fair and accessible to all students. Each thematic section is organized to help the misrepresentations in schools and broader societal contexts. Discussion questions also promote the critical thinking and awareness that are central to the book’s deconstructive and self-reflective process.
