"Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies not only contests the
misappropriation of culture in education, but it also contests the
idea that attention to culture obfuscates equity work in schools.
To the contrary, sustaining culture is the heart and soul of
educational justice, because culture is the heart and soul of what
it means to be human. CSP moves marginalized youth from object to
subject position through fundamentally humanizing approaches,
approaches that stand in contrast to the embedded deficit lenses of
the racial contract otherwise structuring schooling."--Teachers
College Record
"...this powerful book reflects Paris and Alim's belief in
community building and does a phenomenal job in encouraging all
readers, particularly those conducting anthropological/ethnographic
work in education, to engage critically in discourses around the
development of CSPs. Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies allows
readers to become part of a community of scholars, educators, and
administrators who are actively working together to reimagine the
purpose of schooling in a pluralistic world."--Anthropology &
Education Quarterly
"This essential and timely compilation by emerging and established
scholars advances critical debates in research and teaching of
education, anthropology, linguistics, race/ethnic studies, and
related fields...It will be of interest to scholars, students, and
practitioners seeking understanding and examples of transformative
classrooms."--Language and Education
"An essential read that asks educators to see young people as
'whole versus broken' when they enter our classrooms." --Val Brown
for Teaching Tolerance
