Praise for the previous edition:
"At last we have a text that brings issues of race and education cogently and powerfully to undergraduates who often have little opportunity to seriously engage these ideas. Kudos to Leonardo and Grubb for weaving together the research in such a masterful way.”―Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Chair in Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison
"Education and Racism should be required reading for all education leaders! Its lucid analysis of how race works in education counters the pervasive but misdirected twin themes of colorblindness and post racialism. Leonardo and Grubb clearly show how good intentions unwittingly perpetuate systemic racism, arguing compellingly for color-conscious policies and actions that I believe can make a real difference.”―Christine Sleeter, California State University, Monterey Bay
