Description
This book introduces the concept of critical mentoring, presenting its theoretical and empirical foundations. It provides telling examples of what it looks like in practice and what it can achieve.
As schools and colleges continue to evolve, critical mentoring offers a new transformational practice that challenges traditional notions of mentorship. By placing youth at the center of the process, critical mentoring creates collaborative partnerships with young people and communities, recognizing multiple sources of expertise and knowledge.
The book outlines the underlying foundations of critical race theory, cultural competence, and intersectionality, providing strategies for mentors to create a participatory, emancipatory, and transformative process. Each chapter ends with questions to ask and actions to take, moving readers from thought to action.
