Can comedy, and more specifically, African American \"race comics,\" help us rethink our approach to anti-racist education?\u003cbr\u003eAt a time when critical race theory is under attack, the need for new approaches to anti-racist education is urgent. \u003cem\u003eUnthinkable Laughter\u003c\/em\u003e addresses this need, highlighting the power of humour and race comedy as valuable alternative strategies. Drawing on her experiences in politics - as a former member of Provincial Parliament in Ontario, anti-racism critic for the province, and chair of Ontario's first-ever Black Caucus - Laura Mae Lindo offers a fresh perspective on rethinking anti-racism work in educational settings.\u003cbr\u003eThe book applies critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies to Canadian experiences in education and politics, addressing a significant representational gap that often fosters the misleading belief that racism in education is a problem unique to the United States. By introducing this theoretical framework to Canadian contexts, Lindo offers a more inclusive, global perspective on both critical race theory and culturally relevant pedagogies in education. Ultimately, \u003cem\u003eUnthinkable Laughter\u003c\/em\u003e calls for a shift in how we approach anti-racist education, urging the exploration of humour and race comedy as powerful and effective alternative strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLaura Mae Lindo\u003c\/b\u003e is an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Waterloo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 19, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47224753029369,"sku":"9781487551094","price":47.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/y0d5bhXz089781487551094.webp?v=1768238264","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/unthinkable-laughter-reimagining-anti-racist-education-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
