Walking the Color Line: The Art and Practice of Anti-Racist Teaching

By Mark Perry

At the heart of this volume and central to current efforts to improve public education is the attempt to create anti-racist, democratic, student-centered schools. Mark Perry shows how racially mixed teaching faculties can model democratic ideals and how white teachers and administrators of color can effectively deal with their differences. As a former principal and teacher, he is committed to developing and implementing a culturally relevant curriculum that offers realistic alternatives to inaction. An honest, readable, and succinct account of real-life teaching, this book provides a framework as well as valuable insight for all educators, parents, and community activists who work toward social justice, particularly at the grassroots level.
