What Does Injustice Have to Do With Me? , however, argues that such efforts cannot succeed in creating a more just and equitable society without also addressing the students who benefit from America's educational, economic and racial inequities. These young people grow up to wield disproportionate power and influence, yet emerge undereducated and poorly prepared to navigate, let alone shape, our increasingly diverse country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDavid Nurenberg weaves together narrative from his twenty years of suburban teaching with relevant research in education and critical race theory to provide practical, hands-on strategies for educators dealing with challenges unique to high-powered suburban, urban and independent schools: affluent myopia, white fragility, the empathy gap, \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...at the present moment, both politically timely and morally important. -- Jonathan Kozol, National Book Award winner and author of \"Savage Inequalities\" and \"Death at an Early Age\"\u003cbr\u003eNurenberg reminds us that White, upper middle class students also have a stake in justice and equity in a society, indeed in a world, that reflects increasing economic, social, educational, and political disparity. More important, What Does Injustice Have to Do with Me? speaks directly to the role of our teachers in ensuring the fundamentals of democracy are taught to and understood by ALL students. -- Gloria Ladson-Billings, President of the National Academy of Education, member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Professor Emerita in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at the University of Wisconsin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTable of Contents\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor’s Note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: Who are “Privileged” Students and How Do We Teach Them?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Two: Warming Up the Room \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Three: Self and “Other”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Four: What Does Injustice Have to Do with Me?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Five: Privileged Victims\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Six: Struggling to “Be the Change”—Allyship, Activism, and the Dangers of the “Savior” Trap\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter Seven: “Choosing Between What is Easy and What is Right”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfterword\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040307970391,"sku":"9781475853735","price":58.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781475853735.jpg?v=1750946329","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/what-does-injustice-have-to-do-with-me-9781475853735","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
