This is a recommended reading list. These writings are created by mostly contemporary authors who have contributed to my continued growth and understandings of ways in which the construction of race affects our societies and institutions, as well as other oppressive ideologies and all of the ways in which they intersect. Some texts have an explicit context in education and/or civics.
