Handbook of Critical Race Theory in Education by Marvin Lynn (Editor); Adrienne D. Dixson (Editor)
Call Number: LC196 .H364 2013
ISBN: 9780415899956
Publication Date: 2013-03-26
This handbook illustrates how education scholars employ Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a framework to bring attention to issues of race and racism in education. As a reference resource it provides a comprehensive description and analysis of the topic, from the defining conceptual principles of CRT in the law that gave shape to its radical underpinnings to the political and social implications of the field today. It is divided into three sections, covering innovations in educational research, policy and practice in both schools and in higher education, and the increasing interdisciplinary nature of critical race research.
