Adams, Maurianne, Warren J. Blumenfeld, Rosie Castaneda, Heather W. Hackman, Madeline L. Peters, and Ximena Zuniga (Eds). An Anthology on Racism, Antisemitism, Sexism, Heterosexism, Ableism, and Classism . New York, NY: Routledge, 2000.

The first reader to cover the scope of oppressions in America, "Readings for Diversity and Social Justice" covers six thematic issues: racism, sexism, Anti-Semitism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism. The reader contains a mix of short personal and theoretical essays as well as entries designed to challenge students to take action to end oppressive behavior and to affirm diversity and racial justice. Each thematic section is broken down into three divisions: Contexts; Personal Voices; and Next Steps and Action. The selections include over 90 essays from some of the foremost names in the field-bell hooks, Cornel West, Michael Omi, Iris Marion Young, Gloria Anzaldua, Michelle Fine, Gloria Steinem, Richard Rodriguez, Beverly Daniel Tatum, Michael Kimmel, Patricia Hill Collins and many other distinguished scholars.

Adams, Maurianne, Lee Anne Bell, and Pat Griffin (Eds). Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice, Second Edition . Second Edition. New York, NY: Routledge, 2007.

"Teaching for Diversity and Social Justice" is a much needed resource that addresses the need to facilitate communication and understanding between members of diverse social groups. It provides educators a comprehensive sourcebook on the theoretical foundations and frameworks for social justice teaching practice. This thoroughly revised second edition continues to provide a comprehensive, accessible introduction to both the theory and practice teachers need to introduce issues of oppression into classrooms. Building on the groundswell of interest in social justice education, the second edition provides coverage of current issues and controversies while remaining faithful to the original mission and format. In addition to a preface, new material throughout and updated references and resources, the book includes four full new chapters on additional forms of oppression - transgenderism, ethno-religious oppression, racism, immigration, and globalism, ageism and adultism. A CD-ROM with appendices and handouts is included.
