LibGuides: Anti-Racism and Racial Justice Resources: Cal State LA Faculty Works

Select Cal State LA Bibliography

The Academic and Social Value of Ethnic Studies review by Christine E. Sleeter and the National Education Association (NEA) states that "Ethnic studies scholarship by and about racial minority groups presents a different narrative that is shaped partially by histories of oppression in the U.S. as well as by the intellectual and cultural resources and traditions of those communities." During this momentous time, with a new Ethnic Studies College at Cal State LA, we want to highlight just a few of the many research articles and books written and speeches given by faculty in the Asian and Asian American Studies, Chicana(o) and Latina(o) Studies, and Pan-African Studies departments.
