Racism in the Enacted Curriculum - Agentic Ideas and the Spaces Between

This book chronicles the work of experienced and skilled antiracist educators to explore why even the best-intentioned curricula for resisting racism often fall short. It aims to meet these challenges with a theory rooted in posthumanist and new materialist thought, which understands the role of ideas as agential forces in and of themselves.
