Book excerpt: Winner of the 2006 Critics' Choice Award presented by the American Educational Studies Association Resting on the belief that educators must be at the center of informing education policy, the contributors to this revised edition of the classic text raise tough questions that will both haunt and invigorate pre- and in-service educators, as well as veteran teachers. They explore the policies and practices of structuring exclusions; they listen hard to youth living at the margins of race, class, ethnicity, and gender; and they wrestle with fundamental inequalities of space in order to educate for change. Written from the perspective of researchers, policy analysts, teachers, and youth workers, the book reveals a shared belief in education that "could be," and a shared concern about schools that currently reproduce class, race and gender relations, and privilege.

Book Synopsis Silenced Voices and Extraordinary Conversations by : Michelle Fine

Download or read book Silenced Voices and Extraordinary Conversations written by Michelle Fine. This book was released on 2003. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two noted educators invite new and veteran teachers on an intellectual guided tour through the troubles of bad practice and the delights of good. This volume is a collection of classic essays—as urgently needed now as when they first appeared—on social class, race, gender, and schooling crafted over the course of two decades. The authors invite all of us to take a serious look at the paradox of public education—the ways in which urban schools reproduce social inequalities while, at the same time, serve as sites for learning at its most transformative and compelling. A must–read for all those educators who believe that “we can no longer afford to cede this space to policymakers who know little of the life of a classroom, the curiosity of a child, and the moral imperatives of teaching for critical citizenship.” “Michelle Fine and Lois Weis are among the very best writers on education in the entire nation. This book shows why they are so worthy of our highest respect. It demonstrates the limits and possibilities of critical education in powerful ways.” —Michael W. Apple, John Bascom Professor of Education, University of Wisconsin–Madison “For those of us who share the experience of having waited hungrily for more from Michelle Fine and Lois Weis, having these historic works collected in one volume is deeply satisfying. This book is mandatory material for us all.” —Deborah L. Tolman, Center for Research on Women, Wellesley College

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2000 Outstanding Book Award presented by the American Educational Research Association Winner of the 2001 American Educational Studies Association Critics' Choice Award Honorable Mention, 2000 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Awards Subtractive Schooling provides a framework for understanding the patterns of immigrant achievement and U.S.-born underachievement frequently noted in the literature and observed by the author in her ethnographic account of regular-track youth attending a comprehensive, virtually all-Mexican, inner-city high school in Houston. Valenzuela argues that schools subtract resources from youth in two major ways: firstly by dismissing their definition of education and secondly, through assimilationist policies and practices that minimize their culture and language. A key consequence is the erosion of students' social capital evident in the absence of academically oriented networks among acculturated, U.S.-born youth.
