Division and acrimony have reached new heights that demand far-reaching structural solutions for White teachers committed to creating classrooms where all students thrive. The second edition of this inciteful and motivating book explores the Caring Solidarity framework with new, updated examples and, aspirational, descriptive guides for teachers and researchers. Plus, there are extensive revisions based on newly available research. This new edition includes new chapters on solidarity in the digital age and how to be in solidarity with communities when districts across the country are banning books and working to erase the identities of our students.

Michael L. Boucher, Jr. is Associate Professor of Curriculum and Instruction at Texas A&M University–San Antonio, and with 36 years of experience as a teacher, coordinator, and teacher educator, he has consistently worked at the intersection of race, power, and curriculum, with solidarity as a guiding principle. Whether writing about qualitative methods, preparing future teachers, or rethinking classroom practice, across his scholarship and teaching, he bridges theory and practice by offering educators and researchers ways to reflect on themselves, engage more fully with their students and communities, and envision schools rooted in equity, care, and shared purpose.
