"In Race Frames, the contributors frame units of analysis as racial projects to cut through the best intentions of equity-driven policies and practices, and observe how they often implicitly reproduce racialized/ing inequality. ... (The book) is particularly timely in this way, as equity language has become increasingly hegemonic in education and susceptible to being appropriated to justify policies, pedagogies, and forms of care that harm racially marginalized youth." -Teachers College Record "This is an excellent book that can be a resource for readers of all educational levels interested in racial issues in US education." -CHOICE
