N2 - "This volume uses interviews and narratives data from self-identified Black women reflecting on their childhood in the Canadian public-school system, to explore voice and agency, girlhood and identity in Canada's elementary schools. Exploring themes of race, gender, identity, friendship, dreams, authority, and success, the author showcases diversity in Black Canadian feminism and gives voice and agency to black female stories that have traditionally been absent amongst the literary canon of education. An intimate and compelling scholarly exploration, it contributes to conversations around transforming the black girl narrative in public education and will appeal to researchers, faculty, and post-graduate students with interests in race and ethnicity in education, gender studies, and multicultural education"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781032648569 ER -
