• This volume explores the impact of social identity on teaching and learning. The contributors argue, from the perspective of diverse disciplinary and educational contexts, that mobilizing identities in the classroom is a necessary part of progressive educators' efforts to transform knowledge-making and to create a more just and democratic society. -- This edited volume explores the impact of social identity (race, class, gender, sexual orientation, religion and so on) on teaching and learning. Operating within a realist framework, the contributors to this volume (all of whom are minority scholars) consider ways to productively engage identity in the classroom and at the institutional level, as a means of working toward racial democracy in higher education. As realists, all authors in the volume hold the theoretical position that identities are both real and constructed, and that identities are always epistemically salient. Thus the book argues - from diverse disciplinary and educational contexts - that mobilizing identities in academia is a necessary part of progressive (antiracist, feminist, anticolonial) educators' efforts to transform knowledge-making, to establish critical access for minority students to higher education, and to create a more just and democratic society. 
• "Debates in the sphere of higher education about multicultural education, diversity, and affirmative action have reached a fevered pitch ...One could hardly imagine, then, a more opportune moment to pursue research on the importance of identity in education. This collection by Sanchez-Casal and Macdonald is timely, broad in its design, and novel in its approach." - Tobin Siebers, V. L. Parrington Collegiate Professor, English Language and Literature, University of Michigan.
