Description

In this volume, renowned educator Wayne Au provides a wide-ranging examination of the politics of curriculum and educational policy in America.

This book highlights some of Wayne Au’s most impactful essays and articles across his 25 years as an educator, activist, and scholar. In this carefully curated collection, Au traces the development of his politics and analyses of K–12 schooling, education policy, curriculum, and racialization.

Featuring concrete examples, chapters address anti-racist education and the politics of knowledge; the racial politics of high-stakes testing and neoliberal education reforms; and the racialization of Asian Americans as a Model Minority and its connection to anti-Blackness.
Importantly, this book illustrates the power of writing for different audiences by placing scholarly essays alongside those written for teachers, parents, and community members, while also linking educational activism with educational research.

In addition to providing a broad examination of the politics of curriculum and educational policy in America, this book will help today’s educators feel and understand the power that communities can harness through organizing and solidarity.

Book Features:


  • Written by a nationally and internationally known scholar in the areas of curriculum, multicultural and anti-racist education, high-stakes testing and neoliberal reforms, racial justice, and critical education.
  • Provides a model for how to translate educational research and analysis between academic and public discourses, embodying the intersections of theory, practice, and justice.
  • Combines searing political analysis of education with the hope offered through activism, solidarity, and educational justice.
