It's All In The Past

A collection of memories about school experiences
help identify unnamed and unchallenged incidents of
oppression affecting children and youth over four
decades in elementary and high schools in Canada.
What are the implications when memories about school
relationships indicate that racism, classism,
sexism, homophobia, and other harmful practices took
place, but were unnamed and unclaimed as such?
This book offers a candid look at the past,
exploring harmful and hurtful school relationships
through a lens of anti-oppressive education
theories. Teacher candidates, practicing teachers,
and other educators will benefit from this
retrospective analysis. Looking back at past school
experiences will enhance the practice of anti-
oppressive pedagogy in teacher education programs.
