“This is the book we need. Teachers are increasingly asking how to effectively grow critical racial consciousness in the classroom, especially among white students and in predominantly white spaces. Todd Mealy answers with clarity, conviction and concrete strategies. Race Conscious Pedagogy speaks to multiple tiers—theoretical and curricular, classroom and systems. His belief that public schools can be vehicles of liberation comes through on every page and his skill at enabling the rest of us to imagine we can be part of educational movements to get us there is nothing less than a gift. For the good of all students, the sake of racial justice, indeed, the well-being of our democracy, read this fantastic book.”—Jennifer Harvey, Ph.D., Drake University, author, Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America
