Download or read book Transformative Ethnic Studies in Schools written by Christine E. Sleeter and published by Multicultural Education. This book was released on 2020 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing on Christine Sleeter's review of research on the academic and social impact of ethnic studies commissioned by the National Education Association, this book will examine the value and forms of teaching and researching ethnic studies. The book employs a diverse conceptual framework, including critical pedagogy, anti-racism, Afrocentrism, Indigeneity, youth participatory action research, and critical multicultural education. The book provides cases of classroom teachers to 'illustrate what such conceptual framework look like when enacted in the classroom, as well as tensions that spring from them within school bureaucracies driven by neoliberalism.' Sleeter and Zavala will also outline ways to conduct research for 'investigating both learning and broader impacts of ethnic research used for liberatory ends'"--

This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Knowledge for Justice: An Ethnic Studies Reader is a joint publication of UCLA's four ethnic studies research centers (American Indian Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicana/o Studies, and African American Studies) and their administrative organization, the Institute of American Cultures. This book is premised on the assumption articulated by Johnnella Butler that ethnic studies is an essential and valuable course of study and follows an intersectional approach in organizing the articles. The book is divided into five sections-Legacies at Fifty, Formations and Ways of Being, Gender and Sexuality, Arts and Cultural Production, and Social Movements, Justice, and Politics-with each center contributing one or more articles or book chapters to each. In focusing on the intersectional intellectual, social, and political struggles that confront all of the groups represented in this anthology, the selections nonetheless articulate the specificity of each racial ethnic group's struggle, while simultaneously interrogating the ways in which such labels or categories are inadequate. The editors selected articles that not only address intersectional issues confronting various ethnic constituencies, but that also complicate the categories of representation undergirding such a project itself"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asian American Studies Now truly represents the enormous changes occurring in Asian American communities and the world, changes that require a reconsideration of how the interdisciplinary field of Asian American studies is defined and taught. This comprehensive anthology, arranged in four parts and featuring a stellar group of contributors, summarizes and defines the current shape of this rapidly changing field, addressing topics such as transnationalism, U.S. imperialism, multiracial identity, racism, immigration, citizenship, social justice, and pedagogy. Jean Yu-wen Shen Wu and Thomas C. Chen have selected essays for the significance of their contribution to the field and their clarity, brevity, and accessibility to readers with little to no prior knowledge of Asian American studies. Featuring both reprints of seminal articles and groundbreaking texts, as well as bold new scholarship, Asian American Studies Now addresses the new circumstances, new communities, and new concerns that are reconstituting Asian America.

Download or read book Raza Studies written by Julio Cammarota and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The well-known and controversial Mexican American studies (MAS) program in Arizona’s Tucson Unified School District set out to create an equitable and excellent educational experience for Latino students. Raza Studies: The Public Option for Educational Revolution offers the first comprehensive account of this progressive—indeed revolutionary—program by those who created it, implemented it, and have struggled to protect it. Inspired by Paulo Freire’s vision for critical pedagogy and Chicano activists of the 1960s, the designers of the program believed their program would encourage academic achievement and engagement by Mexican American students. With chapters by leading scholars, this volume explains how the program used “critically compassionate intellectualism” to help students become “transformative intellectuals” who successfully worked to improve their level of academic achievement, as well as create social change in their schools and communities. Despite its popularity and success inverting the achievement gap, in 2010 Arizona state legislators introduced and passed legislation with the intent of banning MAS or any similar curriculum in public schools. Raza Studies is a passionate defense of the program in the face of heated local and national attention. It recounts how one program dared to venture to a world of possibility, hope, and struggle, and offers compelling evidence of success for social justice education programs.

Book Synopsis Ethnic Studies Now by : Giselle Dejamco Cunanan
Download or read book Ethnic Studies Now written by Giselle Dejamco Cunanan and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation builds on the scholarly critiques of diversity and multiculturalism that emerged in American Studies over the last ten years. Centering demands for ethnic studies at K-12 public schools and a northwest university, it engages organizers' important labors of political critique and activism, considering as well the difficult questions of co-optation and issue capture by the corporate university on behalf of the neoliberal state. At the heart of this project are student activists at a predominantly white university in the Pacific Northwest, and community organizers at various K-12 public school districts in California who subsequently make up the growing grassroots movement Ethnic Studies Now. These activists' labors produce uneven results. While they have been successful in establishing ethnic studies in various educational institutions, that is not always a simple win. In today's multicultural moment, the dissertation argues, institutions lock ethnic studies organizers in a liberal trap of inclusion, eliciting and requiring their work, and co-opting their efforts to transform schools. Investigating through kuwento, which means "talk story" in Filipino, the dissertation explores the ways organizers make meaning out of their work. It also uses ethnography, participant observation, interviews, close readings of curricular materials, and full and careful engagement with secondary scholarship on education and critical ethnic studies to explore the labor elicited by predominantly white educational institutions from students and educators of color to create ethnic studies curriculum--a labor the dissertation names as "racial" to note its racializing effect on its agents and objects. The dissertation observes students who aimed to transform schools, model curriculum writers, and institutions as they all struggle to control the direction and shape of ethnic studies. Despite the state's greater resources, activists find themselves unable to shrink from another classic example of a reform marginalized subjects cannot not want. While institutions are often able to co-opt struggles for racial justice via ethnic studies into window-dressing "diversity," the dissertation concludes, still organizers' efforts are not all in vain, for the affective work of caring for each other produces a radical, unquantifiable excess that cannot be absorbed by any institution.

Download or read book Ethnic Studies written by Philip Q. Yang and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2000-04-13 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly readable book offers the first comprehensive definition of the field of ethnic studies, covering both the major issues of the field and its theoretical and methodological approaches. Ethnic Studies traces the origins and evolution of the discipline in the United States and maps its domain. The majority of the work considers central issues in ethnicity such as identity, stratification, adaptation, discrimination, racism, segregation, conflict, ethnicity and politics; and race, class and gender. For each issue, key concepts are introduced, main dimensions outlined, empirical evidence presented, theoretical approaches discussed, and often an alternative perspective is suggested. Yang highlights several current issues in ethnic studies such as affirmative action, illegal/legal immigration, and bilingual education and the English-only movement. He concludes that rather than a divisive force, ethnic studies is, and should be, a discipline that enhances our understanding of ethnic groups and their interrelations and strengthens interethnic and national unity based on ethnic diversity.
