Race and Colorism in Education

Book Overview

Through empirical studies and ongoing debates in educational policy, this volume explores colorism from an international standpoint by focusing on immigrants and refugee populations. It is one of the first scholarly works to explicitly situate colorism within educational domains and demonstrates how this form of discrimination affects students, families and professionals. This volume presents the connections between race and colorism in P-16 schooling by questioning how variations in skin tone, as well as related features such as hair texture and eye color, complicate the educational experiences of students.
