Description: Rooted in the groundbreaking antiracist scholarship of Timothy J. Stanley, this collection calls on educators to confront systemic racisms and reimagine history education as a transformative practice toward becoming antiracist educators.
Review Quotes: "This book captures how Dr. Tim Stanley reshaped scholarship in Canada with his research, his teaching, and his advocacy for methods and frameworks (sometimes against ad hominem opposition and attacks that went beyond the content of his evidence) for understanding white supremacy holistically rather than as separate racisms usually categorized by naming the targets of racism rather than their perpetrators. Dr. Stanley described the architecture and design of the systems created in Canada to allow colonialism and white supremacy to work openly and yet often unseen by being built into the woodwork that scaffolds our society. The essays here resonate with how his own work's impact has gone past academia to provoke Canadians into see the ongoing impact of colonialism in their everyday lives, from street signs and place names to their education systems. Perhaps what this volume reflects best, however, is in the ways Dr. Stanley's legacy extends beyond his own work through his mentorship of so many younger scholars who survived and thrived through his lowkey but wise advice and his support and supervision."--Henry Yu, Professor Department of History, University of British Columbia "Henry Yu"
