{"product_id":"9781487551094","title":"Unthinkable Laughter : (Re)Imagining Anti-Racist Education by Laura Mae Lindo","description":"Does anti-racist education need to rely so heavily on feelings of anxiety, anger, or guilt? Can comedy, and more specifically, African American \"race comics,\" help us rethink our approach to anti-racist education?At a time when critical race theory is under attack, the need for new approaches to anti-racist education is urgent. Unthinkable Laughter addresses this need, highlighting the power of humour and race comedy as valuable alternative strategies. Drawing on her experiences in politics - as a former member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario, anti-racism critic for the province, and chair of Ontario's first-ever Black Caucus - Laura Mae Lindo offers a fresh perspective on rethinking anti-racism work in educational settings.   The book applies critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies to Canadian experiences in education and politics, addressing a significant representational gap that often fosters the misleading belief that racism in education is a problem unique to the United States. By introducing this theoretical framework to Canadian contexts, Lindo offers a more inclusive, global perspective on both critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies in education. Ultimately, Unthinkable Laughter calls for a shift in how we approach anti-racist education, urging the exploration of humour and race comedy as powerful and effective alternative strategies.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56301914915189,"sku":"9781487551094","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781487551094.jpg?v=1762791951","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781487551094","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
