Omschrijving
This book addresses these questions and explores the use of critical spatial analysis to uncover the dimensions of entrenched and systemic racial inequities in educational settings and identify ways to redress them.
“The growth of critical race studies has prompted huge advances in our understandings of the numerous complex, shifting and often hidden ways in which racism operates in the contemporary world. This ground-breaking volume brings together cutting-edge scholarship that applies the principles and inspiration of critical race theory (CRT) to critical spatial analyses. The result is a provocative and fascinating collection that will have a lasting impact on the field.”

"Critical Race Spatial Analysis (CRSA) is an intellectually captivating text. The use of practical, real life examples and accessible language are ideal for beginners in critical race studies, providing them conceptual and empirical anchors to develop multi-scalar investigations for diverse contexts. Theoretically rich and methodologically sound studies feature both nuanced and comprehensive complexities, compelling the more experienced to envision novel interstices. CRSA is an inspiration, an impetus to rethink and retool efforts that address educational inequities.

"The editors and chapter authors of Critical Race Spatial Analysis have taken it upon themselves to embark upon a bold challenge: to fulfill the interdisciplinary charge of Critical Race Theory. For now and into the distant future, their work stands as testament to the commitment to grapple with the layers of race, space and school. In the long road towards justice, I am overly grateful to my comrades for producing this seminal volume."

“In their edited work, Morrison, Annamma, and Jackson make a compelling case for the necessity to include a critical spatial lens in educational research. In making their argument, the authors build upon the work of Soja, who used the term spatial justice to highlight the benefits of thinking about justice through a spatial lens. The purpose of the book is ‘to examine racial inequities in education through a critical spatial lens, situating the spatial temporally and socially’. The editors achieve this goal over the course of ten chapters that explain critical race spatial analysis (CRSA) and offer a variety of methodologies and examples of how to carry out CRSA in education research.
Critical Race Spatial Analysis is a necessary and timely text. [It] succeeds in its purpose and makes a strong case for paying greater attention to the ways spaces are racialized, and how this in turn plays a role in reproducing educational inequities. The greatest strength of the book is in noting the numerous methods and methodologies to merge spatial analysis with critical race theory. As the authors note, the text should not serve as an introduction to geospatial studies or critical race theory. However, it will serve as a powerful introduction for scholars seeking to work at the intersection of these fields. The text also offers terrific examples of how to incorporate rigorously critical methodological and theoretical perspectives into one’s work, which may be useful to scholars in an array of disciplines. As such, we highly recommend this text to all who are interested in exposing and eradicating educational inequities.”
