This volume engages and extends the concept of culturally sustaining pedagogy (CSP)--teaching that perpetuates and fosters linguistic, literate, and cultural pluralism as part of schooling for positive social transformation. The authors propose that schooling should be a site for sustaining the cultural practices of communities of color, rather than eradicating them. Chapters present theoretically grounded examples of how educators and scholars can support Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian/Pacific Islander, South African, and immigrant students as part of a collective movement toward educational justice in a changing world. A definitive resource on culturally sustaining pedagogies, this book includes what they look like in the classroom and how they differ from deficit-model approaches. Contributions reflect lasting educational frameworks such as as culturally relevant pedagogy, funds of knowledge, cultural modeling, and third space.

These seventeen essays are organized into three thematic sections: Teaching in Times and Places of Struggle, Teaching in the Neoliberal University, and Teaching How to Read Race and (Counter)Narratives,

In this book, a librarian and an education leader team up to discover the influence they can have on the school community as the library becomes the heart of the school, a place where problems are solved, content is explored, connections are made and discovery happens.

This book will help individuals develop the skills needed to facilitate difficult dialogues across race in high school and college classrooms, in teacher professional learning communities, and beyond.
