{"product_id":"unthinkable-laughter-1","title":"Unthinkable Laughter","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.","brand":"\u003cP\u003eBy Laura Mae Lindo\u003c\/P\u003e","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54864196305276,"sku":"9781487551070","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781487551070.jpg?v=1736364377","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/unthinkable-laughter-1","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
