    Understand the historical roots of ethnic studies and its path-breaking potential to rebuild democratic education.

    Through a combination of policy analysis, interviews with educators and policymakers, and case studies from across the United States and beyond, Critical Ethnic Studies and the Global Pursuit of Justice illuminates the challenges and opportunities of implementing ethnic studies curricula.

    The author explores the emergence and implementation of ethnic studies legislation in California—AB 1460 (mandating ethnic studies in California State Universities) and AB 101 (an ethnic studies graduation requirement for all California public and charter high schools) —tracing their roots to broader social justice movements and specific historical struggles within marginalized communities in the United States.
    Featuring research-based insights, actionable recommendations, and practical resources, this book provides a nuanced analysis of how ethnic studies policies can foster equity and overcome systemic barriers in K–12 and higher education.
    Book Features:

    • Explores the intersection of policy and practice through a cross-sector analysis of ethnic studies in K–12 and higher education.
    • Features research-based insights from interviews and case studies across diverse educational contexts.
    • Highlights the historical and contemporary role of social justice movements and countermovements in shaping education policy.
    • Includes guidance and practical tools, such as implementation frameworks, policy evaluation tools, and strategies for overcoming resistance.
