Publisher: The New Press, 2019

Groundbreaking education researcher Lisa Delpit curates the perfect blueprint for guiding young people, especially those who are the most vulnerable, through crucial conversations and difficult topics in divisive times. The book posits that “teachers are among those who can (and should) instill hope in students by giving them the knowledge and tools to navigate our unjust world and take action for justice.” Noted educators, activists, and journalists contribute observations on six broad themes from race and culture to climate, politics, sex education in this “honest and rich collection.”
