Philosophy & theory of education; Inclusive education & mainstreaming; Multicultural education

In the current state of global upheaval with the rallying call for human rights and justice for people who have been historically marginalized, the curriculum must be decolonized to ensure that children identified as marginalized and at risk are receiving an equitable education that is based on respect and acceptance of their cultural heritage as well as their human rights. The Struggle for Justice, Equity, and Peace in the Global Classroom investigates the global classroom as a site of transformation for educators who dare to take action to replace oppressive and repressive practices with emancipatory strategies grounded in critical consciousness. The book's contents convey the pluralism that defines America and the world, investigating how educators can re-envision the future through an engagement with the past and an understanding of how the historical continuities of racial intolerance and social injustice continue to impact classroom teaching and the outcomes of children whose lives are shaped by the aftermath of slavery and oppression. Covering topics such as colonial education, inclusive classrooms, and student agency, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for teachers, school administrators, literary scholars, community activists, teacher educators, preservice teachers, researchers, and academicians.
