Unbleaching the Curriculum: Enhancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Beyond in Schools and Society is an innovative work that applies a new perspective to curriculum desgin in U.S. public schools. Introducing the framework of unbleaching, the book explores curricular omissions and falsifications for the purpose of advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in school processes and practices. Its content is groundbreaking as it introduces readers to often omitted contributions such as The Teachings of PtahHotep, the oldest book in the world, and The Ahmes Papyrus, the oldest mathematical document in the world, among others. The Nation's Report Card government report indicates that U.S. schools are experiencing modest performance (NAEP, 2022). Thus, unbleaching framework has the potential to improve student performance through curriculum development that is informed by multicultural practices. The eight key tenets and processes of unbleaching provide the context for how the curriculum might address notable omissions and suppressed historical contributions and promote greater DEI in U.S. public schools.

Recenzii

This reviewer initially did not know what to expect from the text. Does "unbleaching the curriculum" mean implementing diversity or drawing on those recipients and teachers of education to tell the full story and not the "white-washed" version? But this reviewer was awakened to the openness that this concept provides. The authors courageously give examples of recurring themes throughout history that led to the disparity between a one-sided view of historical concepts and the appearance of the unfiltered truth. The authors relay examples of how important this concept can be toward the equitable inclusion of non-bias concepts within the confines of education to enhance or bring about DEI. Should readers need a historical reflection on why understanding the past to move forward in the present is important, this is the text for them. Recommended. Advanced undergraduates through faculty."
This book courageously presents Unbleaching as a means of protest -- a protest that inherently interrogates the ideologies of Nationalism, racism, and other systems of oppression that have historically been hallmarks of integrated schooling. In the current social, educational, and political climate there is a fervent charge to dismantle any course of study that has not already been stripped of the contributions and experiences of indigenous people, and people of color. Unbleaching the Curriculum: Enhancing Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Beyond in Schools and Society serves as a definitive answer and is the scaffold of a necessary "constructive program" that supports the efforts of educators through diversity, equity, and inclusion in ways that enhance culturally responsive teaching and learning.
With a high level of sophistication and poise, Unbleaching the Curriculum masterfully addresses key curricular and pedagogical issues in education. This work is timely and needed as it disrupts "miseducation" and advances diversity, equity, and inclusion in schools and beyond. It shines a bright light on curricular omissions while providing a corrective framework that enhances instructional knowledge in K-12 and higher education. This book has great implications for social studies and teacher preparation, and it is a must read for educators, researchers, curriculum designers, and policy makers.
Unbleaching the Curriculum is an innovative transformation blue print for multicultural curriculum reform to "spark the genius" of all students. The authors sound an alarm about oppressive power structures in K-12 and higher education curriculum and illuminate the crippling effects on scholars' identities when excluded from what is taught and the perils of inaction. Moreover, the authors provide an education framework using data from diverse disciplines such as history, science, anthropology, statistics, etc. to guide action. This book is an essential resource to enhance knowledge about diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in schools and society.
