Protecting the Promise is the first book in the Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies Series edited by Django Paris. It features a collection of short stories told in collaboration with five Native families that speak to the everyday aspects of Indigenous educational resurgence rooted in the intergenerational learning that occurs between mothers and their children. The author defines "resurgence" as the ongoing actions that recenter Indigenous realities and knowledges, while simultaneously denouncing and healing from the damaging effects of settler colonial systems. By illuminating the potential of such educational resurgence, the book counters deficit paradigms too often placed on Indigenous communities. It also demonstrates the need to include Indigenous Knowledges within the curriculum for both in-school and out-of-school settings. These engaging narratives reframe Indigenous parents as critical and compassionate educators, cultural brokers, and storytellers who are central partners in the education of their children.Book Features:A window into how and why Indigenous resurgence through (and sometimes in resistance to) education can happen.A narrative style of writing that builds accessible stories that are both relatable and connected to larger social issues.An interdisciplinary approach that has implications for pre- and in-service teachers and school administrators, as well as for the communities from which these stories originated. A teacher-friendly Afterword that offers lesson ideas for the classroom and companion questions to the short stories.

For the first time, this volume provides a definitive collection of Gloria Ladson-Billings' groundbreaking concept of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy (CRP). After repeatedly confronting deficit perspectives that asked, "What's wrong with 'those' kids?", Ladson-Billings decided to ask a different question, one that fundamentally shifted the way we think about teaching and learning. Noting that "those kids" usually meant Black students, she posed a new question: "What is right with Black students and what happens in classrooms where teachers, parents, and students get it right?" This compilation of Ladson-Billings' published work on Culturally Relevant Pedagogy examines the theory, how it works in specific subject areas, and its role in teacher education. The final section looks toward the future, including what it means to re-mix CRP with youth culture such as hip hop. This one-of-a-kind collection can be used as an introduction to CRP and as a summary of the idea as it evolved over time, helping a new generation to see the possibilities that exist in teaching and learning for all students.Featured Essays:1. Toward a Theory of Culturally Relevant Pedagogy2. But That's Just Good Teaching: The Case for Culturally Relevant Pedagogy3. Liberatory Consequences of Literacy4. It Doesn't Add Up: African American Students and Mathematics Achievement5. Crafting a Culturally Relevant Social Studies Approach6. Fighting for Our Lives: Preparing Teachers to Teach African American Students7. What's the Matter With the Team? Diversity in Teacher Education8. It's Not the Culture of Poverty, It's the Poverty of Culture: The Problem With Teacher Education9. Culturally Relevant Teaching 2.0, a.k.a. the Remix10. Beyond Beats, Rhymes, and Beyoncé: Hip-Hop Education and Culturally Relevant Pedagogy

What is at stake when our young people attempt to belong to a college environment that reflects a world that does not want them for who they are? In this compelling book, Navajo scholar Amanda Tachine takes a personal look at 10 Navajo teenagers, following their experiences during their last year in high school and into their first year in college. It is common to think of this life transition as a time for creating new connections to a campus community, but what if there are systemic mechanisms lurking in that community that hurt Native students' chances of earning a degree? Tachine describes these mechanisms as systemic monsters and shows how campus environments can be sites of harm for Indigenous students due to factors that she terms monsters' sense of belonging, namely assimilating, diminishing, harming the worldviews of those not rooted in White supremacy, heteropatriarchy, capitalism, racism, and Indigenous erasure. This book addresses the nature of those monsters and details the Indigenous weapons that students use to defeat them. Rooted in love, life, sacredness, and sovereignty, these weapons reawaken students' presence and power. Book Features:Introduces an Indigenous methodological approach called story rug that demonstrates how research can be expanded to encompass all our senses. Weaves together Navajo youths' stories of struggle and hope in educational settings, making visible systemic monsters and Indigenous weaponry.Draws from Navajo knowledge systems as an analytic tool to connect history to present and future realities.Speaks to the contemporary situation of Native peoples, illuminating the challenges that Native students face in making the transition to college.Examines historical and contemporary realities of Navajo systemic monsters, such as the financial hardship monster, deficit (not enough) monster, failure monster, and (in)visibility monster.Offers insights for higher education institutions that are seeking ways to create belonging for diverse students.

Literacy educators are often unequipped to help young children contend with the world we inhabit, where linguistic, literate, and cultural pluralism are not always valued or sustained. In fact, educators are routinely bombarded by programs that position literacy as a simple, one-size-fits-all practice. This resource will help pre-K–3 teachers create and interpret literacy teaching processes, practices, and spaces that honor and extend children's fullness. It is coauthored by three New York City teachers from ethnically, racially, and linguistically diverse schools who share vivid examples and everyday stories from their own classrooms. Grounded in an accessible discussion of the value of culturally sustaining pedagogy and its potential to promote equity in elementary teaching, this book can be used as a practical introduction to CSP practices for early childhood teachers and teacher candidates.Book Features:Focuses on the capabilities of young children and their families, rather than perceived deficits.Showcases a theoretical model, key definitions, and an interpretive framework of culturally sustaining early literacy practices and processes. Offers concrete examples and stories that educators can use in their own settings. Contains user-friendly features to help readers visualize the processes and practices described in the book, including artwork and other artifacts from classrooms.

What happens when Chicanx students' educational experiences are shaped by the activation of ancestral worlds? Born of songs like La Bamba, oral traditions, call and response practices, body as an instrument, and embodying ecologies, the authors posit son jarocho fandango (SJF) methodologies as a tool of convivencia/conviviality, communal healing, positive identity formation, and agency. Against the backdrop of white settler colonialism, members of the intergenerational Son Xinachtli Collective formed across two U.S.--Mexican border states and two ethnic studies university courses. The Collective follows the tradition of the SJF decolonial movement, positioning SJF as an ancestral elder of the African diasporic, Mexican Indigenous, Spanish, and Arabic traditions--whose threat of extinction sparked a cultural revitalization. The survival of SJF and its ancestral worlds supersedes the ruptures of colonialism. From ethnic studies classroom practices to organizing SJF in the community, this work highlights the possibilities of nurturing co-liberation.Book Features:Offers an historical and contemporary example of culturally sustaining practices embraced by Chicanx and Indigenous communities. Focuses on son jarocho fandango as a pedagogy and methodology in schools, not just an art form.Shows how culturally sustaining pedagogy works in a postsecondary setting to center ethnic and cultural practices within the curriculum.Interweaves student learning, ethnic studies pedagogies, teacher education, curriculum development, and civic engagement.Includes visuals that provide the aesthetic of experiencing the son jarocho fandango movement.

What happens in our teaching and learning when we put communities first, when we begin with their concerns and move forward together, in solidarity, to build more just, collective futures together?This timely book expands our understandings of culturally sustaining pedagogies (CSPs). Written by an international and intergenerational collective of educators, researchers, and community organizers, the book offers needed future directions in the field of CSP. Working in the midst of climate catastrophe, emboldened white supremacy and patriarchy, resurgent fascism and imperialism, and ongoing genocides, authors deepen our understandings of CSPs and consider how to teach for more just futures in classrooms and with communities.This book builds upon the landmark title Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies by Django Paris and H. Samy Alim to present theoretically grounded examples of how educators, researchers, and community organizers can center and sustain communities across the United States, Europe, and Africa. It is a powerful example of a global collective working across borders to co-theorize and practice education for justice and liberation. Each example offers locally grounded enactments of CSPs and, just as importantly, highlights how working across nation-state borders is increasingly necessary to sustaining our collective futures.Key Features:Global Perspectives: Provides diverse CSP exemplars from both national and international contexts.Actionable Lessons: Each chapter contains specific strategies for educators to deepen their collective knowledge and classroom practice.Social Transformation: Details ways to create learning environments that connect students to their communities and to socially transformative futures.Research Models: Offers frameworks for building deep, sustaining relationships between researchers, educators, and community organizers.Intergenerational Expertise: Features leading scholars engaging in critical conversations across the U.S., Europe, and Africa.

Centered on the vibrancy of Black culture, this book offers an antiracist pedagogical framework for engaging Black youth in educational and community settings.Resisting Antiblackness in Education refuses the logics of antiblackness that permeate societal and educational structures and, instead, offers an antiracist counter-logic rooted in the aesthetics of Black youth—a historical and ongoing form of cultural expression and perception.Blending Black studies with critical educational theory, the author offers both a reflective and practical guide to help educators, researchers, community workers, families, and activists engage with Black youth aesthetics. Through memoir, aesthetic history, cultural critique, and case studies from a decade of research, readers are introduced to a pedagogy born from the social, psychic, and material lives of Black urban youth. Going beyond theory, this book includes actions, activities, and reflection questions that can be implemented directly in K–12 classrooms and other educational contexts.Resisting Antiblackness in Education is a call to embrace an educational approach that is both intellectually stimulating and practically grounded, a critical and creative catalyst in the fight for Black youth and communities everywhere.Book Features:Offers a tangible antiracist pedagogical framework for engaging with Black youth in educational and community settings, including content unit designs, lesson plans, projects, school or community initiatives, family activities, and more. Blends research with personal narrative, along with aesthetic artifacts of youth (e.g., collages, poetry, paintings, clay sculptures, art, public service announcements) to contextualize the pedagogical theory.Connects to Black aesthetic history to give readers an immersive experience so they are better prepared to execute the pedagogy, including many prompts to engage in self-reflection throughout the text.Focuses on youth voice to empower students, and all those committed to uplifting students, by recognizing their agency and cultural contributions and challenging traditional models of education that prioritize one-directional knowledge dissemination.Provides a broad context of anti-Black oppression that highlights the United States but also discussing antiblackness globally, inviting readers to engage with the text from their unique vantage points.
