Rac(e)Ing to Class: Confronting Poverty and Race in Schools and Classrooms
In this incisive and practical book, H. Richard Milner IV provides educators with a crucial understanding of how to teach students of color who live in poverty. Milner looks carefully at the circumstances of these students' lives and describes how those circumstances profoundly affect their experiences within schools and classrooms. In a series of detailed chapters, Milner proposes effective practices--at district and school levels, and in individual classrooms--for school leaders and teachers who are committed to creating the best educational opportunities for these students. Building on established literature, new research, and a number of revelatory case studies, Milner casts essential light on the experiences of students and their families living in poverty, while pointing to educational strategies that are shaped with these students' unique circumstances in mind. Milner's astute and nuanced account will fundamentally change how school leaders and teachers think about race and poverty--and how they can best serve these students in their schools and classrooms.

Praise for this book
Since Rac(e)ing to Class addresses strategies specifically for administrators at the district level, this book will be particularly meaningful for superintendents and other district administrators striving to implement systemwide reforms to address the educational needs of students living in poverty.--Dede Smith, School Administrator
By considering the issue of racial inequity at both microlevels and macrolevels, Milner's insights are likely to be appealing to community advocates and educational practitioners alike. --Tony Dreise, Australian Journal of Education
"This book will prove valuable for readers of all levels interested in research in education, social change, critical pedagogy, teacher education, curriculum and instruction, bilingual education, educational leadership, ESL, multiculturalism, and diversity."
