Rather than skip over contentious or uncomfortable dialogues about difference, Thea Abu El-Haj tackles them head on. Through rich and detailed ethnographic portraits of two schools with a commitment to social justice, she analyzes the ways discourses about difference provide a key site for both producing and resisting inequalities, and examines the dilemmas that emerge from either focusing on or ignoring them. In interrogating fundamental assumptions about difference and equity, Abu El-Haj deftly blends critique with a search for hope and possibility, to ultimately argue for ways educators might translate ideals about justice into effective practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Thea Renda Abu El-Haj\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.10w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415953665\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThea Abu El-Haj\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor in the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43195232780403,"sku":"9.78042E+12","price":101.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_ee25cfe9-d033-4e3b-833f-a96bcd3625ed.jpg?v=1752583353","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/elusive-justice-wrestling-with-difference-and-educational-equity-in-everyday-practice-9780415953665","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
