Profoundly startling are these humble, generous stories that reflect both universality and uniqueness in the journeys and lifework of scholars at the cutting edge of anti-oppressive education. Anita Rao Mysore and colleagues offer us a collection of Narratives of South Asian and South Asian American Social Justice Educators that is both compelling and unsettling, both eye-opening and inspiring, both lyrical and interventionist. Their narratives teach -- and show us just how much more we have to learn.

Narratives of South Asian and South Asian American Social Justice Educators is a timely and powerful book that brings together many leading scholars from the South Asian diaspora in North America. With their focus on the politics of justice, the life stories gathered here offer a rich and politically important challenge to stereotypes of South Asians.
