The Edge Of Race: Critical Examinations Of Education And Race/Racism

Using the idea of 'the edge of race' as a provocation, this book examines the concepts, methodologies, policies, and practices associated with race and racism in education. Offering empirical examples of the perpetuation and perniciousness of racism that point to the continued salience of research about race, and contributing to conceptual and methodological understandings of race and racism, the contributors illustrate the contingency, productivity, and fragility of race as a concept, and point to how educational research continues to be a contested site in studies of race and racism. This book was published as a special issue of Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education.
