Should educators pretend that race doesn’t matter?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAward-winning sociologist Laurie Cooper Stoll argues that, as long as society is stratified along racial lines, taking a colourblind approach will never end racial inequalities in schooling. Educators must strive to be colour-conscious and actively engage in antiracism if they want to address prejudice and discrimination in education and the wider society. If not, they end up perpetuating racial inequity and white supremacy, whether intentionally or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on her research and professional development with educators, as well as her experience as a publicly elected school board member, Stoll illustrates the complexities, contradictions, and consequences of colourblindness in schools. She provides concrete suggestions for people coming to racial justice work in education from multiple entry points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eShould Schools Be Colorblind?\u003c\/em\u003e is a compelling read for anyone interested in understanding and addressing racial issues within educational systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464211284204,"sku":"9781509534265","price":23.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781509534265-should-schools-be-colorblind.jpg?v=1775042488","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/should-schools-be-colorblind-by-laurie-cooper-stoll-9781509534265","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
