Situated within a period marked by intensified political and cultural resistance to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), the book explores how schools have become central battlegrounds in broader struggles over identity, knowledge, and democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is grounded in the premise that education is never neutral; it either reinforces systems of oppression or serves as a vehicle for liberation. Drawing on this foundation, Rick Rantz skillfully analyzes the historical and contemporary forces that shape resistance to equity in education, including legislative bans, curriculum censorship, attacks on culturally responsive pedagogy, and the politicization of schooling. Through a critical examination of these dynamics, the text reveals how organized backlash seeks to restrict whose histories, languages, and identities are recognized within educational spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, the book is both a scholarly and practical contribution, offering critical insights and actionable strategies for educators, leaders, and advocates committed to equity. It calls on readers to recognize the stakes of this historical moment and to actively participate in shaping an educational system that affirms all students and sustains democratic possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anacapa Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47969379909783,"sku":"9798995424079","price":2777.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798995424079.webp?v=1782921581","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/educating-for-equity-in-an-era-of-backlash-9798995424079","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
