Many of the nation’s most eminent education scholars and researchers describe constructive and effective ways to respond to and resist the attacks on diversity and multicultural education and to support democracy. In this timely volume, James A. Banks and a stellar group of contributors push back on the national and cogent attacks on diversity and multicultural education, both of which have accelerated after the 2024 presidential election. Beyond describing the challenges that multicultural education and democracy are likely to face in the coming years, each chapter offers interventions and actions that educators and administrators can take to mitigate their impact. Standing Strong in Undemocratic Times describes ways in which democracy is fragile and endangered in the United States and how teaching about diversity in schools, colleges, and universities can help to promote democracy in the nation. Book Features: Describes the origins and nature of the attacks on DEI and of teaching about race in America’s schools, colleges, and universities. Provides information, research, and strategies that can give educators hope and ways to envision the future of diversity and multicultural education programs. Explores how opponents of diversity and multicultural education have perpetuated misinformation, such as the claim that critical race theory is being taught in K–12 schools. Includes contributions by three cohorts of multicultural education scholars: the founders, the second generation, and the most recent researchers in the field. Examines how fascism and authoritarianism are growing in the United States and how education in schools, colleges, and universities can counter these forces.
