Whistling Vivaldi, Claude Steele

This groundbreaking book explores the concept of “stereotype threat,” and how it affects individuals from marginalized groups. Steele, a renowned social psychologist, examines the ways in which unconscious biases and stereotypes impact our thoughts, behaviors, and decisions. He also provides practical strategies for reducing stereotype threat and creating a more inclusive environment. This book is an essential read for anyone looking to understand the underlying causes of inequality and find ways to promote diversity and inclusion.

Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Paulo Freire

This book is a classic in the field of critical education and provides a transformative perspective on the relationship between teacher and student. Freire argues that education should empower individuals to challenge and change the systems of oppression in society. He also offers a model for a liberatory pedagogy that prioritizes the agency and critical consciousness of the learner. This book has had a significant impact on the fields of education, sociology, and philosophy, and is considered a must-read for anyone seeking to promote equity and justice in their community.
