Overview
Progressive white educators on the challenges and reimaginings of anti-racist education, cultural responsiveness, and sustained liberatory learning practices
Designed for educators by educators, From White Folks Who Teach in the Hood is the white teachers’ guide to effective multicultural, anti-racist pedagogy.
Over 20 educators are featured in this book, representing different types of schools, different geographies, different durations of experience in the classroom, and different depths of experience in interrogating their whiteness.

—the restrictive, harmful nature of standardization and the power of localization as a tool for transformation
—hip-hop as a vehicle for promoting culture and authenticity within the classroom
—whiteness as a racial identity and intentional anti-racist teacher trainings to identify and unlearn white supremacy

It offers all readers a window into the essential work that must be done to transform our nation's schools from sites of harm to sites of healing.
