Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies : Teaching and learning for justice in a changing world Teaching and learning for justice in a changing world edited by Django Paris, H. Samy Alim. - 294 pages - Language and literacy series . - Language and literacy series (New York, N.Y.) .

"Culturally Sustaining Pedagogies raises fundamental questions about the purpose of schooling in changing societies. Bringing together an intergenerational group of prominent educators and researchers, this volume engages and extends the concept of culturally sustaining pedagogy (CSP) -- teaching that perpetuates and fosters linguistic, literate, and cultural pluralism as part of schooling for positive school transformation. The authors propose that schooling should be a site for sustaining the cultural practices of communities of colour, rather than eradicating them. Chapters present theoretically grounded examples of how educators and scholars can support Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian/Pacific Islander, South African, and immigrant students as part of a collective movement towards educational justice in a changing world"--Publisher's description.
