Abstract

Black Appetite. White Food.: Issues of Race, Voice, and Justice Within and Beyond the Classroom by Jamila Lyiscott addresses the power dynamics educators face while teaching their students of color. The author provides insights and a theoretical framework that supports educators in reflecting upon their practices within an educational system entrenched in white privilege. Lyiscott explains ways in which many educators re-perpetuate oppressive power structures and thereby feed into the Black appetite, white food dynamic. This book serves as a wonderful tool for educators to reevaluate their own practices in order to assure themselves that they do serve their students of color and not harm them further.
