Liz Kleinrock's Start Here Start Now: A Guide to Antibias and Antiracist Work in Your School Community is probably the best work I've read on social justice pedagogy. I only have access to the intro and first chapter but already far far better than books like Racism without
Racists or Stamped. Very student centered, extremely epistemically humble, fantastic understanding of intersectionality. Like seriously, it just does a great job of explaining standard social justice positions in a way that doesn't come across as preachy or dogmatic, and
leaves open the possibility for mistakes and changes. It's not like proposing any radical new way of envisioning things, but instead is just super great at summarizing concisely our current understanding in social sciences about these things.
The addition I love is the examples of materials and activities, and the showcasing of student work and experiences. I do have some misgivings about "do this worksheet that I tell you to" but I think that has more to deal with the structure of the school and not so much

and not like theres any one correct answer. Anyway I'd love to get my hands on the rest of this. It's on audible so I'll try and finish my current book (which is annoying bleh) and trade for it before my current trial ends. Weird no pdf tho rip
