Editors: Maurianne Adams, Lee Anne Bell, Diane Goodman, Khyati Y. Joshi
To public debates full of heat, TDSJ brings light: the insights of scholars whose life’s work is helping teachers and students thrive in diverse 21st century classrooms.
Since its first edition, published two decades ago, Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice has been the definitive source book of theoretical foundations, pedagogical and design frameworks, and curricular models for social justice teaching practice. Thoroughly revised and updated, this third edition continues in the tradition of its predecessors to cover the most relevant issues and controversies in social justice education in a practical, hands-on format. Filled with ready-to-apply activities and discussion questions, this book provides teachers and facilitators with an accessible pedagogical approach to issues of oppression in classrooms. The revised edition also focuses on providing students the tools needed to apply their learning about these issues.

About the Book
The book diversity educators keep handing to each other.
Drawing on case studies and in-depth interviews with forty-one second-generation Indian Americans, Joshi analyzes their experiences involving religion, race, and ethnicity from elementary school to adulthood. She shows how their identity has developed differently from their parents’ and their non-Indian peers’, and how religion often exerted a dramatic effect. She maps the many crossroads that they encounter as they navigate between home and religious community, family obligations and school, and a hope to retain their ethnic identity while also feeling disconnected from their parents’ generation.
Through her candid insights into the internal conflicts that contemporary Indian Americans face as they negotiate this pastiche of experiences, and the religious and racial discrimination they encounter, Joshi provides a timely window into the ways that race, religion and ethnicity coincide in day-to-day life.
