Praise for the previous edition:
"This collection details well all of the ways that an intellectual movement has moved beyond its adolescence while still remaining true to its core principles and values. In covering ground from Affirmative Action to DisCrit to the intersections between white supremacy and white allies, the second edition of this reader demonstrates how CRT’s most substantive insights and exciting research are taking place in education policy and law."
--Tom I. Romero, II J.D., Ph.D., Assistant Provost for Inclusive Excellence Research and Curricular Initiatives, University of Denver
" Foundations of Critical Race Theory in Education is a comprehensive text that smartly includes both the germinal legal literature in CRT and education. The selection of articles covers a range of topics and themes that shows not only the breadth of scholarly productivity, but also the depth of the literature as it relates to racialized educational inequity. This important book will be a staple for many courses and a valuable resource for any scholar who takes the study of race and CRT seriously."
--Adrienne D. Dixson, Associate Professor, Critical Race Theory and Education, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
