| Description: |
Weaves together critical race theory with a popular methodology known as "counterstory", using created Chicana/o characters. The composite narratives provide a useful tool for exposing, analyzing and challenging the stories of racial privilege often repeated in education from traditional classrooms to the halls of academia. |
| Synopsis: |
Chicanas/os are part of the youngest, largest, and fastest growing racial/ethnic 'minority' population in the United States, yet at every schooling level, they suffer the lowest educational outcomes of any racial/ethnic group. Using a 'counterstorytelling' methodology, Tara Yosso debunks racialized myths that blame the victims for these unequal educational outcomes and redirects our focus toward historical patterns of institutional neglect. She artfully interweaves empirical data and theoretical arguments with engaging narratives that expose and analyse racism as it functions to limit access and opportunity for Chicana/o students. By humanising the need to transform our educational system, Yosso offers an accessible tool for teaching and learning about the problems and possibilities present along the Chicano/a educational pipeline. |
