We are pleased to announce that two IAP books have been awarded the 2011 Critics Choice Award from American Education Studies Association (AESA).

The winning books are:

Okun, Tema. (2010). The Emperor Has No Clothes: Teaching About Race and Racism to People Who Don’t Want to Know. Charlotte NC: Information Age Publishing.

Gorlewski, Julie A. (2011). Power, Resistance, and Literacy. NC: Information Age.

Each year, a committee of AESA members selects a number of titles it regards as outstanding books that may be of interest to those in educational studies. These books are designated as AESA Critics’ Choice Award winners and are displayed prominently at the annual meeting.

The Critics’ Choice Award serves to recognize and increase awareness of recent scholarship deemed to be outstanding in its field and of potential interest to members of the Association.
