"Elizabeth Washington and Keith C. Barton have engaged the collective wisdom of a diverse band of social studies scholars who expose the hypocrisy and multi-layered shortcomings of civic education. Contributing authors challenge scholars, teachers, and the social studies field to actively confront and work against the politics of rage, racial trauma, nationalism, and Black estrangement among other social ills while simultaneously envisioning reimagined enactments of civic education that could possibly restore our embattled democracy." J.B. Mayo, Associate Professor, Department of Curriculum & Instruction, University of Minnesota, USA
"This eclectic collection presents visionary conceptions of civic education and embodies the aims of critical consciousness, truth and reconciliation, global citizenship, empathy, anarchy, racial healing, and future-building. The chapters offer hopeful and transformative ideas for curriculum, pedagogy, and classroom relationships in response to despair over the political crises of our time. To engage with ideas about how the field might be transformed, this is the book to read." Judy Pace, Professor, School of Education, University of San Francisco, USA
