Review

"Ladson-Billings' important work on racial inequality in education should be a pivotal touchstone for graduate students, prospective educators, practicing educators, teacher leaders, administrators, researchers, and policymakers who are serious about confronting the realities of race in schools."—Teachers College Record"This latest book by Ladson-Billings is an engaging arrangement of her work, which moves through both her journey in her scholarship in CRT as well as an understanding of CRT, how it can operate in society, and how scholars and teacher educators can engage with CRT to create more equitable educational opportunities for students of Color."—Journal of Language and Literacy Education" Critical Race Theory in Education showcases scholarship from Gloria Ladson-Billings that has invigorated the field of education, traditionally mired in pejorative research about African American students. Her bent for incorporating personal narrative into her research literature distinctly enriches the texture of her work, importantly, as an African American student, educator, and scholar."—Black Perspectives

Promotional "Headline"

?Critical Race Theory in Education is the perfect intellectual tool for deconstructing and understanding the formation of race in U.S. schools. Ladson-Billings helps make clear what critical race theory is and what it is not. This is an essential read in this current climate of myth-making around critical race theory.? ?Anthony L. Brown, professor, University of Texas at Austin
