For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood... and the Rest of Y'all Too

For White Folks Who Teach in the ’Hood is for every educator. The book gets to the heart of how inequities are perpetuated in schools and society.  Emdin calls out the “pedagogy of poverty” that “rewards [students] for being docile and punishes them for being overly vocal or expressive.” It’s not just the stresses of their lives outside of school, but traditional school practices as well that often disempower students from struggling neighborhoods, his research has found.
