Praise for the First Edition:
"Due to its accessibility and adaptability, Storytelling for Social Justice has the potential to alter educational practice and research. In their efforts to create equitable classrooms and curricula, pre- and in-service teachers may reflect upon Bell’s discussions of counter-stories to understand how stories uphold or challenge power relations in their lives and the lives of their students. Newcomers to CRT and social justice would applaud Bell’s ability to make the theories more accessible."
--Teachers College Record
"Storytelling for Social Justice is a gift to educators, activists, writers and those of us caught in the muck of a profoundly racist society that preaches color-blindness. A wise and experienced storyteller, Lee Anne Bell invites us to speak, write and act with courage, offering stories of hope and a pedagogy for justice."
--Michelle Fine, Distinguished Professor of Social Psychology, Women’s Studies, and Urban Education, The Graduate Center, CUNY
"This important book provides a theoretical framework and a practical guide for unmasking contentious and uncomfortable discussions of race and class privilege. Using brilliant analysis of storytelling, Lee Anne Bell helps us understand the complex interactions of students’ ethnicity and culture and teachers’ beliefs and attitudes. This is a must read for teachers, teacher educators, and policy makers interested in equity and school reform."
