Lindsay offers an intersectional interpretation of the politics of all-male black schools and builds on the work of political theorists, activists, and education specialists to envision educational reforms that advance the well-being of all children.\"--Lawrie Balfour, author of\u003ci\u003e Democracy's Reconstruction: Thinking Politically with W.

The way she draws on intersectional analysis to illustrate how many black male supporters of ABMSs can articulate a simultaneously antifeminist and antiracist politics is as groundbreaking as it is sobering. Rather than dismissing intersectional analysis because of its potential to foster antifeminist, homophobic thought and practices, Lindsay identifies a more thoughtful, counterintuitive way to combat the race-gender achievement gap: form coalitions that interrogate the liberatory as well as less-than-liberatory potential of one’s own and others’ experience. \u003ci\u003eIn a Classroom of Their Own\u003c\/i\u003e is the kind of critical analysis we need to ensure that today’s and future generations of black students can experience formal education that fosters self-determination and liberation.\"--Lance McCready, author of \u003ci\u003eMaking Space for Diverse Masculinities: Difference, Intersectionality, and Engagement in an Urban High School\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Lindsay's engagement with this subject is nuanced, sensitive, and sophisticated.\" --\u003ci\u003eTeachers College Record\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Does an excellent job revealing the shortcomings surrounding current conversations regarding school reform.\" --\u003ci\u003eMen and Masculinities\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49400443568471,"sku":"9780252041730","price":77.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780252041730.jpg?v=1730470694","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/in-a-classroom-of-their-own-the-intersection-of-race-and-feminist-politics-in-allblack-male-schools-9780252041730","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
