Race Frames in Education: Structuring Inequality and Opportunity in a Changing Society

Beyond commonplace inequalities, the post-Trump contemporary moment has seen rampant racialized material and symbolic violence against Latinx, immigrant, undocumented immigrant, Asian American, and African American populations. Race Frames in Education addresses this issue by analyzing racial projects and their impact on educational and community-based settings. It challenges white dominance in education and social policy and practice to understand the material effects of race, racism, and white supremacist logic on minoritized populations. The book features narratives that center the voices and grassroots-level resistance of underrepresented groups, an examination of anti-immigrant policies and surveillance, empirical studies grounded in race frames, and interdisciplinary research that centers racial analysis, equity, and advocacy efforts.

Beyond the commonplace inequalities that many minoritized youth face in the United States, the post-Trump contemporary moment has created rampant racialized material and symbolic violence occurring against Latinx, immigrant and undocumented immigrant, Asian American, and African American populations. Race Frames in Education advances the conversation about racial equity in educational contexts with a unique analysis centered on the concept of racial projects—a way of thinking not only about systems of racial domination and subjugation, but also of resistance. Chapter authors center racial analyses across multiple educational and community-based settings to underscore how racial projects advance equity or reproduce inequality. This much-needed anthology addresses a pressing issue in society: how to center race and expose systemic racism in order to transform communities, schooling, and educational policies. It challenges white dominance in education and social policy and practice in order to understand the material effects of race, racism, and white supremacist logic on minoritized populations.
