Critical Race Theory and the Critical Philosophy of Race are now well established within North American academia - yet they are only recently beginning to make inroads in UK academia. The wide-ranging discussions in this collection explore conceptual, ethical, political, and epistemological aspects of race and racism in the context of discussions of pedagogy, curriculum, and education policy, across a range of educational settings. The questions and issues addressed include:

. why and how issues of race play out differently in different national and social contexts;

. the impact of the legacies of empire and colonialism on philosophy and education;

. the disciplinary boundaries and practices of academic philosophy;

. the philosophical canon;

. racial identities and their role in educational processes;

. diversity and difference in educational practices and curricula;

. whiteness and institutional racism; and

. the pedagogical issues raised by teaching young children about race and racism.

This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethics and Education.
