<p>“This book is a great antidote to the persistent widespread belief across the country that colorblindness is the racially progressive approach to dealing with racial matters in schools. Stoll provides those concerned with racial equity a clear and direct path away from colorblind racism and towards a real commitment to substantive transformation.”<br /><b>Amanda Lewis, Director of the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy, University of Illinois at Chicago</b></p> <p>“Laurie Cooper Stoll challenges and inspires us to ‘imagine the impact’ we can have if we collaborate to put equity first in our advocacy. When equity is ‘non-negotiable,’ anything is possible for all students.”<br /><b>Heather DuBois Bourenane, Executive Director of the Wisconsin Public Education Network<br /><br /></b>“A candid and valuable book that makes clear how schools' attempts to be colorblind are counterproductive to the goals of racial equity. The lessons learned and antiracism tools offered by Stoll will help to move the needle forward on pursuits of racial justice in education. As such, this should be an essential reading for teachers, school administrators, and the community at large.”<br /><i><b>Social Forces<br /><br /></b></i>“Stoll mobilizes vast resources. […] Intertwining knowledge and practice, [she] gives a rich and insightful account that uncovers some of the complexities and difficulties in teachers' (and schools') engagement with issues of bias, prejudice and social justice. […M]aybe more importantly, Laurie Cooper Stoll shows how scholarship, when taken beyond academia, has the potential to benefit the wider public, especially educational professionals who stand at the frontline, trying to pave a safe path for their students to walk on.”<br /><i><b>Cultural Sociology</b></i></p>
