Description

Black Women and Social Justice Education explores Black women's experiences and expertise in teaching and learning about justice in a range of formal and informal educational settings. Linking historical accounts with groundbreaking contributions by new and rising leaders in the field, it examines, evaluates, establishes, and reinforces Black women's commitment to social justice in education at all levels. Authors offer resource guides, personal reflections, bibliographies, and best practices for broad use and reference in communities, schools, universities, and nonprofit organizations. Collectively, their work promises to further enrich social justice education (SJE)—a critical pedagogy that combines intersectionality and human rights perspectives—and to deepen our understanding of the impact of SJE innovations on the humanities, social sciences, higher education, school development, and the broader professional world. This volume expands discussions of academic institutions and the communities they were built to serve.

Acknowledgments
Stephanie Y. Evans: Thank you to “Dr. Dre” Domingue and my longtime UMass friend Tania Mitchell, scholars with both intellectual and practical expertise in social justice education. Without you two, this book would not be as clear or complete. Special thanks to authors who contributed their minds and hearts to this volume. We gather in the spirit of collectives like the Combahee River Collective, But Some of Us are Brave editors, Spelman College scholar collaboratives, Presumed Incompetent editors, Crunk Feminist Collective, and so many other scholar-activist sister circles. Thanks to campuses and organizations that encourage, facilitate, or institutionalize social justice education work. The progress of our world depends on this pedagogy and praxis. I am especially grateful to my ancestors who learned and taught despite personal, social, and structural violence. This book is dedicated to the millions of Black women educators across continents who not only teach but inspire. And I offer gratitude for my life partner in love and justice, Dr. Curtis D. Byrd.
Andrea D. Domingue: First, and most important, I dedicate this work to my late parents, Lois M. Domingue and Claude J. Domingue. Both parents were my earliest role models and biggest supporters. They believed in me and my ability to lead, educate, and strive for social change before I believed in myself. I would like to express deep gratitude to Dr. Stephanie Y. Evans and Dr. Tania D. Mitchell. I am continually humbled that I was considered and invited to co-edit this pivotal text. I consider you both my possibility models; I appreciate your patience and flexibility during our process, and it has been an honor to learn from the two of you. I also hold appreciation for my dissertation advisor, Dr. Maurianne Adams. Her exceptional mentorship was vital in my personal development as an educator and writer; she always encouraged me to use my authentic voice. I would like to thank my colleagues in the UMass Social Justice Education concentration for the mentorship, expertise, resources, and insights that supported my work over the last 10 years. A few in particular stand out: Dr. Ximena Zuniga as an early advisor who continually guides me in my work on critical pedagogy and facilitation, and my beloved community of collaborators, whom I depend on for co-facilitation, design considerations, and exchange of resources—Molly Keehn, Dave Neely, Chase Catalano, Rachel Wagner, Mike Funk, Rani Varghese, and Safire DeJong. Successful completion of this book is also attributed to my dearest friends and community. Words cannot adequately express how sincerely appreciative I am for each of you who cared for me throughout my writing process and believed in me when I needed it most. A special thank you to the coaches and members of Pioneer Valley Crossfit who demonstrated the power of community and showed me that no obstacle is too great to overcome. I appreciate the check-ins about my progress and taking the time to help me talk through ideas. Last, but certainly not least, I would like to thank Prince for his unquestionable companionship.
Tania D. Mitchell: This project would not have been possible without the amazing contributors who shared their knowledge, experiences, and passion in this volume. I also want to appreciate Stephanie Evans and Dre Domingue for inviting me into this experience and for their leadership and care throughout the process. A book titled Black Women and Social Justice Education requires gratitude and appreciation for the Black women who
