Praise for Schooltalk: "This is a masterfully crafted text, sure to be a classic in education and anthropology...[It] should be required reading of students in every teacher education program in the United States of America."
--H. Richard Milner IV, author of
Rac(e)ing to Class "Reading
Schooltalk is like sitting down for coffee and frank conversation with a trusted friend about what matters most in education: creating equitable opportunities for all young people. Pollock provides a goldmine of examples of actions, strategies, and resources for classrooms, schools, and communities. This is a beautiful book, one that will make a difference in how people consider what until now they may have thought of as simply innocent 'talk.'"
--Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
Praise for Mica Pollock's Everyday Antiracism: "Teachers and parents often want to act on the issue of racism, but don't know how. This one-of-a-kind volume is the blueprint; no one should teach another day without reading it."
--Tim Wise, author of
White Like Me "
Everyday Antiracism shows how ordinary people can be mindful and purposeful in confronting discrimination and taking concrete steps that, little by little, change the world."
--Linda Darling-Hammond, Stanford University
"It's rare to find a book as theoretically rich and practically useful as this one.
Everyday Antiracism helps us see how everything that happens in school has racial implications--and how in big and little ways we can all be agents of equality. What an important and hopeful resource this is."
--Bill Bigelow, editor of
Rethinking Schools Praise for Mica Pollock's Because of Race: "[This book] challenges assertions that discrimination against minority children isn't provable, shouldn't be discussed, or can't be fixed."

Education Week Praise for Mica Pollock's Colormute: "The scholarship is provocative, the text well written, and the argument clear and compelling. Pollock is a truly gifted writer."
--Michelle Fine, City University of New York
