Written by esteemed scholars in the field, the chapters in this book explore key concepts that were initially conceived as radical theories aimed at challenging the established status quo. These concepts include Third Space, Funds of Knowledge, Culturally Relevant Pedagogies, and more. Each chapter delves into the process by which these core theories were culturally appropriated and de-fanged, ultimately serving to reinforce rather than dismantle racial and societal hierarchies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors to this volume take a critical stance in critiquing the detrimental effects of watering down these once groundbreaking ideas. They propose strategies to restore the original edge and vitality to these theories, rejecting racist and assimilationist trends and advocating for the original vision behind these liberatory constructs. By adopting a truly radical and critical perspective, this volume serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, scholars, and students in the field of literacy education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 290g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 151 x 228 x 28 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367500962\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44105139093754,"sku":"9780367500962","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/25d275512740d8060a157f4f398b90e4.jpg?v=1633660175","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/whitewashed-critical-perspectives-restoring-the-edge-to-edgy-ideas","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
