Abstract

While organizing efforts by movements such as Black Lives Matter and responses to the hate-filled policies and rhetoric of President Donald Trump are heightening public discourse of racism, much less attention is paid to mechanisms of racial oppression in the field of education. Instead, conceptualizations that allude to racial difference but are disconnected from structural analyses continue to prevail in K–12 education research. In this chapter, our goal is to challenge racism-neutral and racism-evasive approaches to studying racial disparities by centering current research that makes visible the normalized facets of racism in K–12 schools. After narrowing over 4,000 articles that study racial inequity in education research, we reviewed a total of 186 U.S.-focused research studies in a K–12 school context that examine racism. As we categorized the literature, we built on a theory of the “new racism”—a more covert and hidden racism than that of the past—and grouped the articles into two main sections: (1) research that brings to light racism’s permanence and significance in the lives of students of Color through manifestations of what we conceptualize as (a) evaded racism, (b) “antiracist” racism, and (c) everyday racism and (2) research focused on confronting racism through racial literacy and the resistance of communities of Color. In our conclusion, we articulate suggestions for future directions in education research that include a more direct acknowledgement of racism as we attend to the experiences and needs of K–12 students of Color.
中小学“新种族主义”:以种族主义批判研究为中心
虽然组织“黑人的命也是命”等运动的努力,以及对唐纳德·特朗普总统充满仇恨的政策和言论的回应,正在加强公众对种族主义的讨论,但人们对教育领域种族压迫机制的关注要少得多。相反,在K-12教育研究中,暗示种族差异但与结构分析脱节的概念仍然盛行。在本章中,我们的目标是通过集中当前的研究,挑战种族主义中立和回避种族主义的方法来研究种族差异,使K-12学校种族主义的正常化方面变得明显。在缩小了4000多篇研究教育研究中种族不平等的文章的范围后,我们回顾了186项以美国为重点的研究,这些研究是在K-12学校背景下研究种族主义的。当我们对文献进行分类时,我们建立在“新种族主义”理论的基础上,这是一种比过去更隐蔽、更隐蔽的种族主义,并将文章分为两个主要部分:(1)通过我们概念化为(a)逃避种族主义、(b)“反种族主义”种族主义、,(c)日常种族主义和(2)研究重点是通过种族素养和有色人种社区的抵抗来对抗种族主义。在我们的结论中,我们对教育研究的未来方向提出了建议,其中包括在我们关注K-12有色人种学生的经历和需求时,更直接地承认种族主义。

期刊介绍: Review of Research in Education (RRE), published annually since 1973 (approximately 416 pp./volume year), provides an overview and descriptive analysis of selected topics of relevant research literature through critical and synthesizing essays. Articles are usually solicited for specific RRE issues. There may also be calls for papers. RRE promotes discussion and controversy about research problems in addition to pulling together and summarizing the work in a field.
