Trade Review'Critical consciousness is the antidote for oppression. In a time when hate groups and oppressive laws are on the rise, a book on critical consciousness is desperately needed. The editors and authors of this volume all center our current sociopolitical context and provide unique perspectives for understanding critical consciousness.' Carlos Hipolito-Delgado, University of Colorado Denver, USA
'Over the past decade, the rise of important activist movements such as Black Lives Matter, #Metoo, #NoDAPL, Never Again MSD, and others have contributed to deepening interest among scholars about how critical consciousness develops, particularly in young people who have been at the forefront of so many of these movements. This book does a tremendous job of soliciting the perspectives and insights about critical consciousness development from both leading and emerging scholars and, in so doing, establishes a powerful foundation for expanding and amplifying this research focus on critical consciousness going forward.' Scott Seider, Boston College, USA
