Encyclopedia of Critical Whiteness Studies in Education

While critical whiteness studies as a field has been attacked from both within and without, the ongoing realities of systemic white supremacy across the globe necessitate new and better understandings of whiteness, white racial identity, and their links with education. Encyclopedia of Critical Whiteness Studies in Education offers readers a broad summary of the multifaceted and interdisciplinary field of critical whiteness studies, the study of white racial identities in the context of white supremacy, in education. Featuring scholars from across the Anglophone world, this volume seeks to offer both introductions and deep dives into the ever-shifting field of critical whiteness research in education.

Zachary A. Casey is Associate Professor of Educational Studies at Rhodes College in Memphis, TN, USA. He has authored numerous books, articles, and chapters focused on critical whiteness studies in education, including A Pedagogy of Anticapitalist Antiracism (SUNY, 2016).

"They (the 96 chapters included here) demonstrate well the shifts and changes in the field by incorporating, for example, a range of pertinent concepts such as white privilege and racial melancholia, diverse perspectives from Arab Americans and Asian Americans, and relevant figures from W. E. B. Du Bois to Donald Trump. This encyclopedia will be a useful resource for antiracism scholarship. Summing up: Recommended". D.Pan, in Choice, December 2021.
