摘要：In Six Lenses for Anti-Oppressive Education , editors Kevin Kumashiro and Bic Ngo have organized a series of essays and presentations about critical pedagogy into six sections, each containing two chapters and an email conversation between the authors of those chapters. The majority of the contributors are teacher educators at American and Canadian universities. Each of the first four sections also include a teaching story by an educator who illustrates how some facet of anti-oppressive education is practically implemented in the elementary, secondary, or university classroom. While the editors have sought to thematically organize their collection around issues of (1) authoritative discourses in education, (2) hidden curriculums, (3) critical literacy, (4) addressing student resistance to critical pedagogy, (5) anti-racist education, and (6) situating anti-oppressive education in times of war, I found that many of the broader questions authors raised were echoed throughout the book. Along with the range of social issues and perspectives presented, the complexity of the book's organization points to some of the contradictions and difficulties inherent to the critical pedagogy project. As Kumashiro and Ngo write in their introduction, "The field of anti-oppressive education includes multiple theoretical traditions, with no consensus on how to teach in anti-oppressive ways" (p. xix).
