Reviews for Unity in Diversity: Achieving Structural Race Equity in Schools

'The fight against racial inequity and institutional racism starts in our schools. Unity in Diversity is an essential tool for all of those who want to join in that fight.' David Lammy, MP for Tottenham and Shadow Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs 'Macfarlane challenges us to understand that racism is affecting staff and students in our institutions, whilst also inviting us to challenge and change systems, processes and peoples involved in fomenting racism. This book is thoughtfully written, combining theory with case studies of practice and is a must read, especially for those working in schools, who have an interest in and passion for anti-racism.' Paul Miller, Institute for Educational & Social Equity 'Addressing racial inequity in schools is urgent and necessary. Informative, engaging, practical and clearly written, this compelling book is a valuable resource for all head teachers and senior leaders.' Professor Louise Archer, University College London 'Addressing race inequity in schools is a difficult thing to do with authenticity: unpacking the real issues which plague us as a society, whilst also presenting pragmatic solutions to help address these problems. I am often asked by MAT and education leaders what book I would recommend to help them on their journey. My answer will now be Unity In Diversity; it's engaging for the activist and a great choice for the novice looking to learn and make a difference.' Sufian Sadiq, Director of Teaching School at Chiltern Learning Trust 'This book is a must read for educationalists promoting race equity in Britain. It covers factual data, lived experiences and practical strategies for a much-needed way forward.' Bushra Nasir, CBE DL and CEO Drapers' MAT 'This will be a useful guide for teachers and educators seeking to deepen their anti-racism journey. Used properly, it will provide real support for anyone needing guidance in this area - a solid starting point for deeper engagement.' Jeffrey Boakye, Author, Broadcaster and Educator.
