Beyond Silenced Voices

Walter Baker

Description

Winner of the 2006 Critics' Choice Award presented by the American Educational Studies Association

Resting on the belief that educators must be at the center of informing education policy, the contributors to this revised edition of the classic text raise tough questions that will both haunt and invigorate pre- and in-service educators, as well as veteran teachers. They explore the policies and practices of structuring exclusions; they listen hard to youth living at the margins of race, class, ethnicity, and gender; and they wrestle with fundamental inequalities of space in order to educate for change. Written from the perspective of researchers, policy analysts, teachers, and youth workers, the book reveals a shared belief in education that "could be," and a shared concern about schools that currently reproduce class, race and gender relations, and privilege.

Acknowledgments

This volume could not have been accomplished without the help of key indi- viduals. Priscilla Ross of the State University of New York Press supported the idea of a revised edition and offered immeasurable support along the way. A long-term friend and colleague, we could not have asked for a better editor than Priscilla. Michelle Meyers, gr aduate student in Buffalo, held the entire project together, keeping Lois and Michelle on track as well as being in con- stant contact with contributors. Catie Lalonde, also a graduate student in Buf- falo, offered much-needed assistance as we pulled the final pieces together. Amy Ferry, once again, produced the final product with great dedication and skill. We could not have done this without her. Numerous students and teachers worked with researchers and appear anonymously on the pages of this book. It is your strength, courage, and determination that make our labor worthwhile, and we simultaneously honor you as we honor the researchers who appear in this volume. Our final thanks are reserved for readers of the earlier edition.Beyond Silenced Voices has been taught in a large number of education courses both in and outside the United States since its publication in 1993. It is your sustained engage- ment with the original text that ultimately convinced us to produce a sec- ond edition.

With thanks,

Lois and Michelle April 2004
