While much attention has been given to inclusion, diversity, andmulticulturalism within adult education, The Handbook of Race andAdult Education is the first comprehensive work to engage in adialogue specifically about race and racism and the effect thesefactors have on the marginalization or oppression of groups andindividuals.
This landmark book provides the field of adult and continuingeducation with a model for the discussion of race and racism fromsocial, educational, political, and psychological perspectives, andseeks to articulate a conceptual challenge to the ethnocentricfocus of the discussion in the field. It offers adult educationscholars, as well as those engaged in research and teaching aboutrace, an opportunity to engage in a discourse about race andracism, including examinations of how these factors have been seenthrough multiple theoretical frameworks; how they have affectedmany lived experiences at work, home, and within educationalsettings; and how they have served to privilege some and notothers. The book offers an exploration into how these factors needto be centered in a discourse and perspective that can providethose in the margins as well as in the center with ways to thinkabout creating changes in their classrooms, communities, andhomes.
This volume is a timely addition to the intense racial debateoccurring in this country today. It is a long overdue mediumthrough which those in higher education, as well as the generaladult education field, can engage in a discussion that leads tocritical understanding and moves us into meaningful change.
