Description
One of America's most distinguished scholars of race shows us how public education needs to be seen in the light of the influence of "color-blind racism as a system of power." Drawing examples from schools, media, and the workplace, Collins gives us a book of social analysis that is also an energizing handbook for change.

Praise for Another Kind of Public Education: Race, Schools, the Media, and Democratic Possibilities…
In Another Kind of Public Education, Patricia Hill Collins skillfully melds high theory with everyday practice. This is a timely book as we stand on the precipice of new national leadership and a call for a recommitment to public service and active participation in our democracy. This book is both a treat and a treasure. —Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Professor in Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison, author of The Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African American Children
