Synopsis

This collection of essays--spanning 25 years--reflects Dr. Gordon's lifetime commitment to education and democracy―bringing together his views on race, justice, and equity for all students. As a renowned humanist, psychologist, and educator, Dr. Gordon is an African American who has spent most of his life in racially integrated sections of society, but he has never completely lost the sense that he is representing those who have been relegated to "the back of the bus." Both scholarly and accessible, this book examines many of the most important issues of educational theory and practice and places them in the context of the social justice imperative. Each section of essays―including two new essays prepared especially for this book―is introduced with commentaries in which Dr. Gordon contextualizes and explains the continuing relevance of the issues for today's educator.
