Un-American Acts focuses on identity and invisibility of African American and other underrepresented youth in the U. S. society and schooling. Presented are a series of chapters rooted in critical theory, aesthetics, and moral imagination that are intended to serve as prompts for crucial conversations and for engaging in critical reflective pedagogy in educational leadership and educational studies. Chapters center on events that have transpired in Ferguson, Staten Island, South Carolina, and elsewhere in the U. S. as well as on other relevant concerns that have had a profound impact on perceptions of race and identity in our nation’s educational systems.
