<p><b>This comprehensive and timely text explains the need for, and application of, anti-racist teaching with children birth–age 8. </b>

Systemic racism remains a longstanding social, economic, and cultural reality in the United States, Canada, and beyond. By actively implementing the anti-racist strategies in this book, early childhood educators can create learning environments that are not only inclusive and equitable, but that also <b>help young children develop a strong understanding of race and racism so they can become agents of social change</b>.

Moving beyond theorizing anti-racism and whiteness, chapters provide <b>actionable guidance</b> to help readers identify and resist racism in early years teaching. A diverse group of over 35 contributors offer insights on children’s racial knowledge, classroom practices that cultivate children’s racial pride and agency, anti-racist teacher preparation, and more. This <b>valuable teaching resource </b>will help readers take direct and intentional action against racist behaviors, practices, policies, and beliefs to dismantle and interrupt racism within and beyond their early learning environments.
