Description

This book draws from interviews conducted with prominent social justice educators and activist intellectuals, such as Noam Chomsky, Gayatri Spivak, Stuart Hall, Henry Giroux, Antonia Darder, Molefi Asante, and Maxine Greene, to examine various forms of social inequities occurring in schools and society perpetrated by those in power. These educators and intellectuals use examples drawn from both personal and professional experiences and relevant literature to point out the manner in which multiple forms of oppression intersect, in both hidden and visible ways, to affect the lives of oppressed groups and disfranchised communities. This book seeks to shed light on various manifestations of social injustices aiming to inspire critical, radical thoughts for socio-political action leading to educational and social change.

Reviews
Social Justice for the Oppressed is an amazing collection of activist intellectual voices for social justice in education that we must cherish and study for years to come. Orelus captures in this volume the wisdom and insight of prominent thinkers of our day that can instigate and motivate action leading to political and educational change. -- Luis Urrieta, associate professor of cultural studies of education, University of Texas at Austin; author, "Working from Within: Chicana and Chicano Activist Educators in Whitestream Schools" (University of Arizona Press, 2009)
Social Justice for the Oppressed brings together, in one place, the voices and perspectives of some of our nation's most prominent intellectuals and cultural workers around issues of social justice, equity, inclusion, and diversity. It provides insight into how each of these leaders understands and theorizes social justice as well as uncovering its implications for the everyday world of social-cultural groups pushed to the margins. In doing so, these scholars dig underneath the surface to name the underlying structures, narratives, and ideologies that undergird the systemic forces that perpetuate social inequality. In hearing the range of perspectives provided herein, we come to understand the multiplicity of ways in which we can enter-within the contexts and spheres of influence which we inhabit-this critical work ourselves. Social Justice for the Oppressed is certain to illuminate the complexity of this work, inform our own efforts at liberation, and inspire us to pursue a vision of possibility for generations to come. -- Francisco Rios, Dean and Professor, Woodring College of Education

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
