>>
>> Objective of the book
>> The arts continue to be marginalized in educational policy and
>> practice. However, time and again art production and aesthetics have
>> provided meaning amidst chaotic conditions in a quickly and
>> constantly changing multicultural world replete with hierarchies of
>> injustice based on a myriad of differences. The arts give the
>> powerless engaged in the flow of creation and meaning-making an
>> experience of empowerment and expression. Consciousness and
>> conceptualization are heightened through the production and
>> perception of the arts, which are much needed in the education of
>> children, youth, and adults, especially those who are endangered by
>> current educational practices. This text is an effort to center the
>> need for social justice in education and the value of the arts in
>> that endeavor through arts education, arts integration, and aesthetics.
>>
>>
>> Audience
>> The book is intended for researchers, theorists, teachers, teacher
>> educators, graduate students, and policy makers who are interested in
