A Cross-Cultural Consideration of Teacher Leaders' Narratives of Power, Agency and School Culture
England, Jamaica and the United States
Eleanor J. Blair, Carmel Roofe and Susan Timmins
"If you want to understand teachers’ work in the 21st century, and why we don’t have the school workplaces that teachers desire, then this is the book for you. Veteran teacher-educators Blair, Roofe, and Timmins have crafted a stirring book for, about, and in defense of teachers that every parent, politician, and policy-maker must read as well as teachers and administrators." --Hilton Kelly, Immediate Past President of the American Educational Studies Association, Chair of Educational Studies Department at Davidson College

Making Sense of Race in Education
Practices for Change in Difficult Time
Jessica A. Heybach and Sheron Fraser-Burgess
“Making Sense of Race in Education is a true testament to what happens when Critical Race Theory meets real educational practices. Every chapter tells a story of a dedicated critical educator who strives to bring open, reflective, and genuine conversations of race, racism, and racists to their classrooms and beyond. Their narratives are testimonies of their struggles to create open spaces where race is the lens used to look at issues of privilege and oppression.” --Yolanda Medina, Ph.D., Borough of Manhattan Community College/CUNY, Critical Studies of Latinx in the Americas, Book Series Editor

Conservative Philanthropies and Organizations
Shaping US Educational Policy and Practice
Edited by Kathleen deMarrais, Brigette A. Herron
and Janie Copple
“Building upon their previous work, deMarrais, Herron, and Copple further unravel the tightly connected network of conservative philanthropists shaping policy and practice at all levels of US education. In Conservative Philanthropies, contributors pull apart diverse historical and contemporary threads of this network. Chapter by chapter, authors provide more coherent vision of the power and reach of philanthrocapitalism and its hand in dismantling public education. This is essential reading for those committed to the fight for a more just and democratic system of education.”
--Amy Stich, Ph.D., University of Georgia

Acts of Resistance
Subversive Teaching in the English Language Arts Classroom
Edited by Jeanne Dyches, Brandon Sams and Ashley S. Boyd
“...timely, thoughtful, and important. Now, more than ever, we need subversive English language arts teachers—public intellectuals and professionals who deeply understand their discipline and know how to use that disciplinary knowledge to engage students in critical, transformative learning. Together, the narratives featured in this book offer a complex, compelling, and accessible picture of what it means to be subversive and to enact change” --Amanda Haertling Thein, Ph.D., University of Iowa Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Graduate Programs Professor

Nurture, Care, Respect, and Trust
Transformative Pedagogy Inspired by Janusz Korczak
Edited by Tatyana Tsyrlina-Spady and Peter Renn
"In American schools today we are just rediscovering the concept of student-centered instruction and teaching the whole child. These ideas were foundational for the Polish physician and educator, Janusz Korczak. If we followed Korczak’s principles here, our schools would become humane learning centers where all children could study and flourish."
--Michele Anciaux Aoki, Ph.D., P.M.P., International Education Administrator, Seattle Public Schools, Seattle, WA

The Activist Academic
Engaged Scholarship for Resistance, Hope and Social Change
Colette Cann and Eric DeMeulenaere
“As a critical small-book companion, the volume is a refreshing, radically honest and comforting text to accompany us as we carve radical possibilities, in the undercommons, with colleagues, students, activists, community members and movements for justice. The Activist Academic is oxygen for the researcher/scholar/teacher who dares to imagine the university as a site of radical accountability to justice.” --Michelle Fine, Distinguished Professor of Critical Psychology and Urban Education, The Graduate Center, CUNY

The Age of Accountability
The Assault on Public Education
since the Time of A Nation at Risk
Dominic Belmonte
“Dom Belmonte has spent decades tirelessly working to improve, and advocating for, public schools and their teachers. In this book, he turns his watchful eye to the upside-down world of reform that has prescribed, stifled, and stunted teaching and learning in too many of our nation’s class-rooms over the past 30-plus years. If we are to take back our schools from the data-crunchers, it is voices like Belmonte’s that point the way forward.” --Gregory Michie, author of Same as It Never Was
