Review

In this text, critical race theory in education approaches its adolescence. It has moved from the dependency of infancy where it could only be made understandable in the context of legal scholarship, to the uncertain steps of childhood where it kept looking elsewhere for approval, to the exciting, brash, and even rebellious period of its teenaged years. In this text it seeks its identity, defines a new way of being, and makes adults pay attention. Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Professor in Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-MadisonA book for all concerned about education for multiracial democracy. Critical pedagogy here meets critical race theory for the first time in a substantial framing. These pioneering scholars of education and communications go where few have gone before to develop a vital pedagogy taking institutionalized racism seriously. Formulating an educational perspective foregrounding white racism and privilege, these savvy educators press for a deep consideration of major anti-racist strategies in 21st century education. Joe R. Feagin, Texas University
