Chávez-Moreno, How Schools Make Race: Teaching Latinx Racialization in America (Harvard Education Press, 2025) - Latinx Talk In today’s classrooms, talking about, teaching, or even celebrating racial diversity have been shunned. At a moment when our nation’s schools have become more diverse than at any point in history, teachers and school administrators are mandated to steer clear of conversations on race, power, inequality, and systemic racism.
