The Third Edition of Open Minds to Equality is a powerful resource for classroom teachers. Building on the excellent work in the first and second editions, Nancy Schniedewind and Ellen Davidson have  updated the material to include current information and contemporary resources. The result is a book that invites teachers to develop classroom lessons based on fairness and equity and to create learning environments where all students are affirmed.
Sonia Nieto, author of Affirming Diversity and Why We Teach

"Open Minds to Equality is an outstanding resource for multicultural education … and helping children envision and work toward social justice. This book is theoretically well-grounded, very practical and loaded with information. Every teacher should have a copy of this book, and everyone who prepares teachers should be familiar with it."
Christine Sleeter, author of Multiculturalism as Social Activism
