E-Books →Somali Students' School Experiences Masculinity, Race and Identity

"Every sentence of Muna Abdi's spell-binding book Somali Students' School Experiences: Masculinity, Race and Identity honours those who come up against Whiteness as the default setting of classroom culture. Every page does justice to the voices of the young Somali men who shared their experiences within the research, and who share their lived experience to illuminate how racism is woven into every crevice of the education system. The book shows us that experiential knowledge is theory-making and what can be achieved when ethics means creating space and being generative. Both achingly beautiful and gut-wrenchingly painful, this monograph is testament to the rich complexity that comes of researching something close to your heart. I couldn't put it down."
