Description:	This book examines the challenges faced by college instructors as they work with students raised in an era of colorblind ideology while presenting a more effective pedagogical approach to the teaching of race. Contributors interrogate diverse problems faced by teachers, provide solutions to these challenges, including creative classroom activities, and suggest larger structural/institutional changes that would facilitate such an evolution. The book is divided into four sections: the first section examines the ways in which students can and must be able to connect their lived experiences to the broader social and historical forces operating in society and presents strategies to accomplish this task in the classroom. The second section examines the need for effective and open communication in classrooms dedicated to the study of race and racial inequality, providing suggestions for success in this area. The third portion of the book presents innovative techniques for connecting with white progressives as well as students of color, and for creating classrooms in which all students are able to flourish and grow in their understandings of race and racial inequality. Finally, the fourth section provides a critical look at the institutional structures that affect instructors of race and racial inequality, identifying opportunities for structural change
