The convergence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the relentless state-sanctioned killings of Black individuals has had a particularly devastating effect on women and girls, particularly at the intersections of employment, citizenship, housing, healthcare, and motherhood statuses. While many individuals are actively advocating for liberation on the frontlines, it is crucial to consider how educational institutions can intervene as sources of respite and reparation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRacialized sexism has been a persistent issue in U.S. schools, particularly affecting Black girl-identified adolescents. These learners are exposed to harmful discourses and discriminatory disciplinary policies, leading to increased stress and marginalization. Engendering #BlackGirlJoy aims to identify teaching practices that empower young Black women to navigate the challenges they face both within and outside of school.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is rooted in the personal experiences of the authors, who worked as a high school teacher at her alma mater, striving to provide the life-affirming education that she had desired as a child. By centering the perspectives of her students, Monique Lane outlines a Black feminist pedagogical framework that has brought about immense #BlackGirlJoy in a struggling public school. This text serves as a heartfelt offering to educators who are committed to taking bold and innovative actions in solidarity with Black girl learners, with the ultimate goal of improving their lives and futures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 323g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 225 x 150 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781433158780\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: New ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monique Lane","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44101108531450,"sku":"9781433158780","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1646204327458_book.jpg?v=1646926033","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/engendering-blackgirljoy-how-to-cultivate-empowered-identities-and-educational-persistence-in-struggling-schools-9781433158780","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
