{"product_id":"unthinkable-laughter","title":"Unthinkable Laughter","description":"Does anti-racist education need to rely so heavily on feelings of anxiety, anger, or guilt? Can comedy, and more specifically, African American \"race comics,\" help us rethink our approach to anti-racist education?\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when critical race theory is under attack, the need for new approaches to anti-racist education is urgent. \u003cem\u003eUnthinkable Laughter\u003c\/em\u003e addresses this need, highlighting the power of humour and race comedy as valuable alternative strategies. Drawing on her experiences in politics – as a former member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario, anti-racism critic for the province, and chair of Ontario’s first-ever Black Caucus – Laura Mae Lindo offers a fresh perspective on rethinking anti-racism work in educational settings.\u003cbr\u003eThe book applies critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies to Canadian experiences in education and politics, addressing a significant representational gap that often fosters the misleading belief that racism in education is a problem unique to the United States. By introducing this theoretical framework to Canadian contexts, Lindo offers a more inclusive, global perspective on both critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies in education. Ultimately, \u003cem\u003eUnthinkable Laughter\u003c\/em\u003e calls for a shift in how we approach anti-racist education, urging the exploration of humour and race comedy as powerful and effective alternative strategies.","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54846606999896,"sku":"9781487551070","price":46.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781487551070.jpg?v=1777949129","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/unthinkable-laughter","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
