The Oxford Encyclopedia of Race and Education is designed to provide scholars, students, and educational practitioners access to research, theories, and historical and contemporary reviews of the many complex and nuanced ways race is enacted in education in different nations. Understanding race in education requires multidisciplinary perspectives, multiple voices and histories, and research that crosses geographic and conceptual boundaries. Its meaning, significance, discourse, and mobilization have shifted over time, and in different contexts around the globe. One thing that has remained constant, however, is that regardless of the society or disciplinary perspective, race is rooted in social relationships and power.
Addressing race and education requires discussions of identity, hegemony, and the historical and contemporary roles of education and schooling in perpetuating ideologies of racial supremacy. It also requires investigation into the possibilities education and schooling can provide for disrupting those ideologies and instigating social change. By placing race at the forefront of examination in this volume, the legacies of inequality inherited from histories of colonialism and imperialism can be challenged.
Unlike other encyclopedias, The Oxford Encyclopedia of Race and Education provides a broad breadth of concepts, themes, and topical areas while also offering greater depth and specificity so that ideas and histories can be understood within their proper social and global context. The articles are written and reviewed by recognized scholars from around the world, and provide a critical examination of the multiple ways race is experienced, conceptualized, and enacted. The Oxford Encyclopedia of Race and Education is a landmark compilation of cutting-edge scholarship that will be essential reading for anyone interested in the ways in which education takes place today.
