Description

High Schools, Race, and America's Future explores the complexities of teaching students to think deeply about race in a high school classroom. Lawrence Blum recounts his experiences as a white college professor teaching a public high school course on race and racism, revealing the challenges and surprises that arose during this rigorous academic curriculum.

Blum reflects candidly on the conversations he had with his students, the unexpected turns of discussion, and the ways in which their questions helped him to see things from new perspectives. This book provides valuable insights for educators who want to create a classroom environment where students feel comfortable discussing difficult topics.

A thought-provoking account of one educator's experience, High Schools, Race, and America's Future offers practical advice on how to foster open and honest discussions about race in the classroom.
