{"product_id":"unthinkable-laughter-laura-lindo-9781487551094","title":"Unthinkable Laughter: (Re)Imagining Anti-Racist Education","description":"Does anti-racist education need to rely so heavily on feelings of anxiety, anger, or guilt? Can comedy, and more specifically, African American \"race comics,\" help us rethink our approach to anti-racist education?\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when critical race theory is under attack, the need for new approaches to anti-racist education is urgent. \u003cem\u003eUnthinkable Laughter\u003c\/em\u003e addresses this need, highlighting the power of humour and race comedy as valuable alternative strategies. Drawing on her experiences in politics - as a former member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario, anti-racism critic for the province, and chair of Ontario's first-ever Black Caucus - Laura Mae Lindo offers a fresh perspective on rethinking anti-racism work in educational settings.\u003cbr\u003eThe book applies critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies to Canadian experiences in education and politics, addressing a significant representational gap that often fosters the misleading belief that racism in education is a problem unique to the United States. By introducing this theoretical framework to Canadian contexts, Lindo offers a more inclusive, global perspective on both critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies in education. Ultimately, \u003cem\u003eUnthinkable Laughter\u003c\/em\u003e calls for a shift in how we approach anti-racist education, urging the exploration of humour and race comedy as powerful and effective alternative strategies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Lindo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487551096\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487551094\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Laura Lindo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46807168975103,"sku":"9781487551094","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_89945c83-8607-4909-9637-62f7ace16734.jpg?v=1745378731","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unthinkable-laughter-laura-lindo-9781487551094","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
