“ Racial Microaggressions in Education is a timely, well-researched book that draws on the works of other scholars in the field (notably Chester Pierce, who first coined the term microaggression) and provides vivid, real-life examples of racial microaggressions throughout the text. Readers, regardless of their background, will better understand racial microaggressions and be able to pinpoint them after reading this book, enabling them to disrupt the normalized existence of racism in everyday life.”

“Theoretically and empirically grounded, the authors provide a brilliant and timely contribution to the current discussions and actions related to race and racism. They link theory, practice, and pedagogy in a powerful analysis that spans the roots of racism and the responses to racial microaggressions to the intergroup conflict caused by internalized racism.”

Naming the pain that racism inflicts is vital for eradicating racism, and this book cogently informs us theoretically and practically on how to do so. Thank you, Solórzano and Pérez-Huber, for the quintessential book that we have long needed to understand, dissect, and disrupt racial microaggressions.”
—Tyrone C. Howard, professor, University of California, Los Angeles
