They challenge us to re-consider what counts for knowledge in a more inclusive, multiracial and democratic society. Their trenchant analysis and timely discussions will inspire new racial literacies in the UK and far beyond.
Todd W. Kenreich, Professor of Secondary and Middle School Education, Towson University, USA
This is an important and timely book. Rich in both historical context and practical insight, the book challenges educators to think of race and racism not as a peripheral concern but as something central to the geography curriculum in post-imperial Britain.
Leon Tikly, Professor, School of Education, University of Bristol, UK
This book offers remarkable new openings towards a racially literate geography curriculum. Morgan & Lambert pay extensive attention to relevant developments in society and science. And from their critically reflective consideration, they show us valuable ways to tackle race and racism in a school subject through F3 curriculum making.
Tine Béneker, Professor of Geography and Education, Utrecht University, the Netherlands
This is an important, timely and, some might say, long-overdue book that makes the case for greater racial literacy among geography teachers. It provides a critique of the subject’s colonial past and the silences around race and racism that continue today.
Geography
[This] book is insightful and relevant to the fields of ethnic and racial studies, curriculum studies, and geography as it provides in-depth insights into the politics of race and racism in British school education and geography curriculum. It is accessibly written, and is a useful resource not only for geography school teachers but also anyone involved in education.
