Description
Book SynopsisJoin the authors of this book in starting a movement of hope and possibility for an antiracist child care and early childhood education system. This volume disrupts mental models regarding where the work of early care and education began and how the stigma of that beginning relegates present-day child care workers to a low-status field of practice.
Trade Review" Child Care Justice is a soul-fulfilling book, one that urges vigilance in an effort to bolster ECCE teachers and advocates so that power, rightly, returns to those for whom it is intended: teachers, families, and children in ECCE settings."—Teachers College Record
