I loved and enjoyed reading every sentence in this book. It contains a lot of great information about anti-racist education through the lens of Universal Design for Learning. As a huge proponent of Universal Design for Learning, I loved the incorporation of all UDL practices and guidelines, into anti-racist education, in a way that is practical, innovative and grounded in research. Although most chapters focused specifically, though not exclusively, on racism that is experienced by Black and Brown students in the United States, I really feel that what Andratesha has offered can be applied to other marginalized groups, both inside and outside of the United States. As a higher education educator working and living in the Middle East, I have learned about great tools and techniques that will help me teach my adult students (the teachers of tomorrow) about the importance of anti-racist education.
Throughout the book, Andratesha asks us questions that compel us to think very deeply about issues that are related to equity in education. She also pushes us to come up with practical strategies that would allow us to implement anti-racist educational practices, almost from the get-go. In addition to that, she guides us towards making a bigger difference on a much larger scale. So what she does is invite us to embark upon an anti-racist journey, that starts small, with almost immediate results, and that has the potential of ending very big, with huge results that would impact a wide variety of students, educators and staff.
This book is truly a must read for anyone interested in anti-racist education and Universal Design for Learning. It does not matter where you live in the world, if you wish to make a difference in the lives of marginalized students, this book is definitely for you.

This book is a must-read for all educators!
In "Antiracism and UDL," Andratesha Fritzgerald uses the metaphor of "building an expressway" to learning. It's an apt metaphor that places the onus for students' success where it belongs--with the educators who are creating the school and classroom environment. As the coronavirus transforms education as we know it, it's even more important to look at ways to connect students to the opportunity to learn.The KEY obstacle in the environment is, in fact, the capacity of the school and teacher to recognize both racism and its impact, and the ways that UDL, combined with other anti-racist pedagogical approaches--for example, trauma informed practice, restorative justice, culturally responsive teaching--can offer all students the opportunity to truly thrive.Andratresha Frtizgerald connects the dots for teachers who feel lost or overwhelmed as they consider their most marginalized and excluded students.If you have read Gholdy Muhummed's "Cultivating Genius," Zaretta Hammond's "Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain," Bettina Loves "We Want to Do More than Survive," and you have (or want to) implement UDL, you will see how Fritzgerald brings everything together and empowers you as an educator to put your students in the driver's seat, in charge of their own educational journey.How are you going to meet the challenge of these times, and continue to adapt your practice as education becomes more equitable? Start by reading this book.
