Is Everyone Really Equal? An Introduction to Key Concepts in Social Justice Education. Second Edition. Multicultural Education Series
Sensoy, Ozlem; DiAngelo, Robin
Teachers College Press
This is the new edition of the award-winning guide to social justice education. Based on the authors' extensive experience in a range of settings in the United States and Canada, the book addresses the most common stumbling blocks to understanding social justice. This comprehensive resource includes new features such as a chapter on intersectionality and classism; discussion of contemporary activism (Black Lives Matter, Occupy, and Idle No More); material on White Settler societies and colonialism; pedagogical supports related to "common social patterns" and "vocabulary to practice using"; and extensive updates throughout. Accessible to students from high school through graduate school, "Is Everyone Really Equal?" is a detailed and engaging textbook and professional development resource presenting the key concepts in social justice education. The text includes many user-friendly features, examples, and vignettes to not just define but illustrate the concepts. Features include: (1) Definition Boxes that define key terms; (2) Stop Boxes to remind readers of previously explained ideas; (3) Perspective Check Boxes to draw attention to alternative standpoints; (4) Discussion Questions and Extension Activities for using the book in a class, workshop, or study group; and (5) A Glossary of terms and guide to language use.
