How do we stop racist ideas and violence if the very foundation of our society is built upon white supremacy? How do we end systemic racism if the majority do not experience it or question its existence? Do our schools instill children with the ideals of equality and tolerance, or do they reinforce differences and teach children of colour that they don't belong? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e #\u003ci\u003eBlackInSchool\u003c\/i\u003e is Habiba Cooper Diallo's high school journal, in which she documents, processes, and resists the systemic racism, microaggressions, stereotypes, and outright racism she experienced in Canada's education system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Powerful and eye-opening, Cooper Diallo illustrates how our schools reinforce rather than erode racism: the handcuffing and frisking of students of colour by police at school, one-dimensional, tokenistic curricula of Black people, and the constant barrage of overt racism from students and staff alike. She shows how systemic racism works, how it alienates and seeks to destroys a child's sense of self. She shows how our institutions work to erase the lived experiences of Black youth and tries to erase Black youth themselves. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Cooper Diallo's words will resonate with some, but should shock, appall, and animate a great many more into action towards a society that is truly equitable for all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Habiba Cooper Diallo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889778191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889778191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Regina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/04\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Habiba Cooper Diallo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988489928959,"sku":"9780889778191","price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad10fa9b-8bc5-4d0f-9e8b-22572454fe6e.jpg?v=1683294767","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blackinschool-habiba-cooper-diallo-9780889778191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
