  • Social Justice Books Project

    OUR SOCIAL JUSTICE BOOKS PROJECT VETS AND PROMOTES SOCIAL JUSTICE BOOKS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS IN RESPONSE TO THE WIDE DIVERSITY GAP IN CHILDREN'S BOOKS AND THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY. OUR LISTS OF RECOMMENDED BOOKS AND CRITICAL BOOK REVIEWS ARE AVAILABLE TO TEACHERS AND PARENTS AT THE WEBSITE SOCIALJUSTICEBOOKS.ORG. WE OFFER MORE THAN 95 BOOKLISTS ON A VARIETY OF THEMES, A DATABASE OF CRITICAL REVIEWS, AND RECOMMENDED ARTICLES ON MULTICULTURAL CHILDREN'S LITERATURE AND CRITICAL LITERACY. IN ADDITION TO SCREENING BOOKS, TEACHING FOR CHANGE HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A NUMBER OF EFFORTS TO HAVE BOOKS RECALLED OR EDITED, AND A CAMPAIGN TO HAVE SCHOLASTIC OFFER MORE BOOKS BY AND ABOUT PEOPLE OF COLOR IN THEIR SCHOOL BOOK FAIRS AND CATALOG. WHILE NOT PRIMARILY INVOLVED IN RESALE, BOOKSHOP.ORG OFFERS A PERCENTAGE OF ITS REVENUE FROM ANY BOOKS SOLD VIA OUR DEDICATED STORE ON THEIR PLATFORM. WE ALSO RECEIVE DONATIONS TO SUSTAIN THE BOOK VETTING AND PROMOTION.
