Race, Racism and the Geography Curriculum

Reviews / Votes

Morgan and Lambert unflinchingly trace the uneven contours of race and racism in the geography curriculum. They challenge us to re-consider what counts for knowledge in a more inclusive, multiracial and democratic society. Their trenchant analysis and timely discussions will inspire new racial literacies in the UK and far beyond. * Todd W. Kenreich, Professor of Secondary and Middle School Education, Towson University, USA * This is an important and timely book. Rich in both historical context and practical insight, the book challenges educators to think of race and racism not as a peripheral concern but as something central to the geography curriculum in post-imperial Britain. * Leon Tikly, Professor, School of Education, University of Bristol, UK * This book offers remarkable new openings towards a racially literate geography curriculum. Morgan & Lambert pay extensive attention to relevant developments in society and science. And from their critically reflective consideration, they show us valuable ways to tackle race and racism in a school subject through F3 curriculum making. * Tine Beneker, Professor of Geography and Education, Utrecht University, the Netherlands * This is an important, timely and, some might say, long-overdue book that makes the case for greater racial literacy among geography teachers. It provides a critique of the subject's colonial past and the silences around race and racism that continue today. * Geography * [This] book is insightful and relevant to the fields of ethnic and racial studies, curriculum studies, and geography as it provides in-depth insights into the politics of race and racism in British school education and geography curriculum. It is accessibly written, and is a useful resource not only for geography school teachers but also anyone involved in education. * Ethnic and Racial Studies *
