This book mobilizes the conceptual tools of Critical Race Theory to examine how whiteness and white supremacy manifest, and are legitimated, through discourses, visual representations, and practices of the arts in education. This work explores wide-ranging questions about the arts as white property while maintaining a focus on the ways in which white identity and the racial frames of whiteness take hold and contribute to inequality.
Purpose:
The contributions to this collection build on and extend knowledge of the arts as white property. As an important step toward building an anti-racist and decolonial approach to the arts in education, the proposed volume will include essays and research that describe, name, and denormalize white hegemony in and through the arts from various disciplinary, methodological, and institutional perspectives. This book is tentatively organized into three thematic sections: Inherited Legacies, Discursive Materials, and Lived Practices.
