Antiracist Education

From Theory to Practice

Julie Kailin

This book combines theory, practice, and ethnography in an exploration of how teachers can fully implement diversity and antiracism as a foundation of their teaching approach. The author, a white mother of children of color, whose work is influenced by her own experience being raised in an antiracist, activist family, developed her curriculum over many years of active involvement with parents and teachers in schools. She presents her curriculum along with ethnographic reports of the processes of change that teachers experience as they fully explore the realities of race relations, its history, and the lived experiences of others. Kailin shows how immersion in this exploration enables teachers to develop curricula and teaching practices that are effectively antiracist and fully connected to students' lives.

Chapter 5 Observations of Covert Racism in Schools
Chapter 6 A Historical and Theoretical Context to the Current Debates on Racism in Education
Chapter 7 Antiracist and Multicultural Education: Similarities and Distinctions
Chapter 8 The Moral and Demographic Imperatives for Antiracist Education
Chapter 9 A Curricular Framework for Antiracist Education
Part 10 Putting Theory to Practice
Chapter 11 The Hidden Dimensions of Liberal Racism: How White Teachers Perceive the Problem of Racism in Their Schools
Chapter 12 Teaching Antiracist Education in Lakeview: Unraveling the Individual Dimensions of Racism
Chapter 13 From the Individual to the Collective Narrative: Facing History in Ourselves
Chapter 14 Notes
Chapter 15 References
Chapter 16 Index
The manner in which Julie Kailin analyses classroom observations, using an ethnographic methodology, is quite interesting. Any teacher can watch him/herself while teaching and become aware of implicit covert racism. This is the first step towards confronting racism in one's background and in one's backyard.
— Intercultural Education


Kallin's proposal of long-term antiracism education for educators is the best first step in cinfronting racism in educational institutions.
— Teaching Theology & Religion


Like Paulo Friere, Julie Kailin stresses the necessity for critical consciousness and for an ability to reflect upon the assumptions that underlie and perpetuate racism, 'othering,' racial profiling, and the rest. Never taking refuge in old idealism, never depending upon blank materialism, Dr. Kailin remains true to important political and economic theories of social structure and social change; but she never condemns those of us who are teachers to the helplessness induced by determinism. Readers cannot help but become personally involved and engaged through their encounter with Dr. Kailin. We can help realize the hopes she arouses through our own deliberate action for decency, social justice, and —if we come together—ongoing change.
