Sommario/riassunto

This book explores how libraries can create more equitable and just services and programs for African American youth to help improve their literacy and life outcomes. It introduces key research concepts, such as Critical Race Theory (CRT), culturally relevant pedagogy, racial identity development, and equity literacy; and offers illustrations of how school and public librarians use these concepts to effect real change in the lives of African American youth.
