Praise for Advancing Social Justice
"An important book that challenges social justice educators tocontinually manifest our core values and intentions in ourpractice--to authentically engage others with humility andcompassion knowing we have memberships in both privileged andmarginalized groups and the dynamics of oppression we confronttoday may be ones we unconsciously participate in tomorrow."
--Kathy Obear, founding faculty, Social Justice TrainingInstitute
"In a field where social justice and critical social theory areall too often absent from the discussion, this bold, fresh textoffers critical insights and guidance to those grappling with thedifficulties of truly engaging in democratic education. Ultimatelyit reminds us that social justice is not a convenient add-on tostudent learning. Rather, it is the essence of education."
-- Nolan L. Cabrera, assistant professor, Center for theStudy of Higher Education, Education Policy Studies & Practice,College of Education, University of Arizona
"With a bit of humility and a huge dose of reality, Davis andHarrison provide the reader with a chance to revisit, rethink, andregroup around the topic of social justice and social justiceeducation. They make the topic more accessible for many to examineand explore without rushing to political correctness."
-- Jill Ellen Carnaghi, associate vice chancellor forstudents, dean of campus life, Washington University in St.Louis
