Download or read book Whiteness, Pedagogy, and Youth in America written by Samuel Jaye Tanner and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book employs a narrative approach to recount and interpret the story of an innovative teaching and learning project about whiteness. By offering a first-hand description of a nationally-recognized, high school-based Youth Participatory Action Research project—The Whiteness Project—this book draws out the conflicts and complexities at the core of white students’ racial identities. Critical of the essentializing frameworks traditionally given to address white privilege, this volume advances a distinctive and theoretically robust account of ‘second-wave critical whiteness pedagogy’.
