Description
No Citizen Left Behind by Meira Levinson explores the idea that civic empowerment is just as important as academic achievement in addressing social inequality. The author argues that schools should play a key role in teaching collective action, discussing the racialized dimensions of citizenship, and provoking students to engage with contemporary injustices. Levinson draws on her own experience and research to make the case for remaking civic education in urban schools. She calls for more than just tweaking the curriculum - instead, she advocates for a fundamental shift in how schools approach civic engagement and empowerment. By doing so, Levinson hopes to build a truly egalitarian society where all young people can have their diverse voices heard. This book challenges educators and anyone concerned with justice, diversity, or democracy to rethink their assumptions about the role of schools in promoting social change.
