Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education

<p><em>Critical Race Theory in Mathematics Education</em> brings together scholarship that uses critical race theory (CRT) to provide a comprehensive understanding of race racism social justice and experiential knowledge of African Americans’ mathematics education. CRT has gained traction within the educational research sphere and this book extends and applies this framework to chronicle the paths of mathematics educators who advance and use CRT. This edited collection brings together scholarship that addresses the racial challenges thrusted upon Black learners and the gatekeeping nature of the discipline of mathematics. Across the ten chapters scholars expand the uses of CRT in mathematics education and share insights with stakeholders regarding the racialized experiences of mathematics students and educators. Collectively the volume explains how researchers practitioners and policymakers can use CRT to examine issues of race racism and other forms of oppression in mathematics education for Black children and adults.</p>
