The question of what to teach has become more and more controversial.  This book asks: what is an appropriate curriculum response   to the acute, renewed interest in issues of race and racism? How   does a school subject like geography respond?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe struggle over the school curriculum has   frequently been portrayed as being between educational ‘traditionalists’ and   ‘progressives’. This book suggests a way out of this impasse. Drawing upon and extending insights from ‘social   realism’, it explores what a Future 3 geography curriculum might look like - one that   recognizes the importance of the academic discipline as a source of   curriculum-making but at the same time avoids geographical knowledge becoming set in stone. The book focuses very   sharply on issues of race and racism, enabling teachers to engage in   curriculum making in geography that is racially literate.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Foreword is written by \u003cb\u003eJulian Agyeman\u003c\/b\u003e, a former geography teacher in the UK and now Professor of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning at Tufts University, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56297898475893,"sku":"9781350336643","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781350336643_95c393fd-9f28-417c-b615-c6433ba00290.jpg?v=1786018467"},{"product_id":"9781845235970","title":"The House in Bacolet","description":"\u003cp\u003eBritish couple Hugh and Julia Pennington buy an old church to convert on a former cocoa plantation on a Caribbean island.
