In this article, I highlight the ways that abolition has always been a dual project and remains as such in our present time. It calls for the complete destruction of oppressive structures while simultaneously demanding that we consider our world once those structures are ameliorated. Using (Re)construction as a framework, I examine how historical Black women teachers built and created alternatives and struggled for an abolition democracy in the afterlife of abolition. (Re)construction also invites us to explore these alternatives in our current time, with the aim of constructing a New World full of radical (im)possibilities.KEYWORDS: abolitionBlack women teachersBlack reconstructionspiritualityafterlife of slavery Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the American Educational Research Association [Minority Dissertation Fellowship].Notes on contributorsAmber M.

Ramirez, Kaleb Germinaro","doi":"10.1080/10665684.2023.2262477","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10665684.2023.2262477","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTThrough conceptual framing of “a vibe” and abolitionist teaching, our study explored the self-determining work of Black and other People of the Global Majority (PGM) who have curated “by us, for us” (BUFU) community spaces of belonging, healing, and liberation. We asked where PGM community members were finding refuge and what healing and abolition-centered work looked like in BUFU spaces during a spring and summer of viral and violent attacks and disproportionate deaths of Black folks and other PGM. Through engagement with two Black-led organizations, a community survey, and interviews, we identified three interrelated themes that characterized these community spaces. First, the spaces had soulful vibes cultivated through food, music, artwork, and the PGM folks who frequented them. Second, they offered healing vibes that allowed participants to exhale and find refuge from white supremacy and surveillance. Lastly, they were spaces that embodied abolitionist vibes evident in knowledge sharing, freedom dreaming, and calls for collective action. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1. We use People of the Global Majority or PGM throughout this article as a more precise term to represent the people and community spaces that we studied and to decenter whiteness as normal and the default to terms like People of Color (POC) and Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC).2. Settler colonialism is a structure, not just an event, in which settler (mainly white) colonizers invade, settle, and claim ownership over Indigenous homelands, lands that are not their own (Tuck & Yang, Citation2014; Wolfe, Citation2006). Acquiring land to build empire is the ultimate pursuit, acquired through Indigenous erasure or elimination and maintained through stolen, imported, forced labor deemed as chattel (Patel, Citation2021; Tuck & Yang, Citation2014; Wolfe, Citation2006).3. The disproportionate effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in Black communities and the ongoing legacies of anti-Black racism contributed to our decision to center Black organizations and community members in this research while also paying homage to other PGM community members and their chosen community spaces that have provided (and continue to provide) refuge, racial healing, and sustenance for us Folks of the Global Majority.4. Despite community outcry/pushback, Nurturing Roots has been displaced from their 1/4-acre urban farm located in South Seattle due to predatory landlords. They have since cultivated a temporary plot in Woodinville, Washington, and continue to host their community farming program throughout the community.Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Washington Education Association [Grant Office ID: A149257].Notes on contributorsShaneé A.

As a historical, sociopolitical, and geospatial situated issue, addressing racial disproportionality in exclusionary practices requires developing localized solutions in response to local racial politics and the school community’s needs and goals. In an effort to develop localized solutions to racial disproportionality in exclusionary practices, the Learning Lab was implemented at an urban Middle School in the 2021–2022 academic year. The Learning Lab is a community-driven systemic design process in which local stakeholders engage in systemic analysis of the existing system and collaboratively design a new schoolwide support system. This study investigated how school stakeholders designed a culturally sustaining and inclusive support system to address the overrepresentation of students of color with and without dis/abilities in exclusionary practices.","PeriodicalId":47334,"journal":{"name":"Equity & Excellence in Education","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135739735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article leans into fugivity and critical race theory (CRT) to demonstrate how hip-hop music can be a capacious avenue for theorizing alternate ways to disrupt hegemonic, oppressive, and racist educational structures and master narratives. In particular, we use two Wu-Tang tracks (e.g. “Can it be all so simple,” “Triumph”) to demonstrate how static approaches to hip-hop—specifically the Wu-Tang—reduce and flatten engagements with hip-hop music in educational contexts. Central to our argument is that the aesthetics of the Wu-Tang Clan are more than economically damaged narratives that tether various culture entities together: Wu-Tang is theory.","PeriodicalId":47334,"journal":{"name":"Equity & Excellence in Education","volume":"56 1","pages":"395 - 408"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46122399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors do this work understanding that familial ways of knowing and being are resources that contribute to the survival and thriving of BIPOC communities in the face of white supremacist structures. The authors’ conversation discusses how they disrupt the white western gaze by relying on the critical mass of Black, Indigenous, and other scholars of color who refuse exploitive methods and, instead, charted new methodological pathways that (re)center cultural, familial, and tribal ways of knowing. Given the authors’ positionalities, the communities and families that collectively raised them, and the extended scholarly family who have nurtured and supported them in their efforts to push against extractive research practices, the authors attend to the ways knowledge is shaped at the intersections of race and gender. This dialogue contends that there are sophisticated knowledges, ways of knowing, and ways of being rooted in the experience of marginalized families caring for one another and fighting for each other’s rights.","PeriodicalId":47334,"journal":{"name":"Equity & Excellence in Education","volume":"56 1","pages":"479 - 491"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43214715","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We realized we had bought into respectability politics and prioritized making our white colleagues and preservice teachers comfortable, leaving behind our hoods. Experiencing the outpouring of love for his work and life made us realize that we didn’t have to let go of our hoods to be a part of academia. Through a Self-Study in Teacher Education, a type of practitioner inquiry undertaken by teacher educators, we shared our stories growing up in our hoods, explored our Hip-Hop identities, and the awakening we experienced to redesign and inform our community-engaged curricular decisions. This article is a “Blackprint”. It’s an offering to teacher educators to explore and interrogate their identities and personal experiences as a springboard to centering Blackness in their courses. It stems from our childhoods in the hood, our careers as scholars, and the call to action inspired by Nipsey’s death. This is a call to elevate the hood in teacher education.","PeriodicalId":47334,"journal":{"name":"Equity & Excellence in Education","volume":"56 1","pages":"352 - 371"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49169870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
