Through Students Eyes: Combating Racism in United States Schools

Combating Racism in United States Schools explores racism in American schools and provides possible solutions to this widespread problem. Dr. McLean Dade documents recent incidents of racism and explores the manifestations of racism and its toll on our society. The major part of Dr. McLean Dade's work focuses on the role of the arts in antiracist/multicultural education. She brings together the views of leaders in multicultural education with her own insights to substantiate the importance of the arts in fighting racism. Dr. McLean Dade focuses her research on high school students, discovering that even high achievers perceive racism as a deterrent to their learning. The students most often perceive racism as a problem caused by adults, and Dr. McLean Dade shows that multicultural arts can empower students to stand against this racism. Finally, Dr. McLean Dade explores the reeducation of teachers in an antiracist, interdisciplinary curriculum development and implementation pilot study.
