What is it about?
We often think of race in terms of demographics, but race is much more than that. Race is what we think and do, which has small and big impacts on our own lives and the lives of others. This paper shows how race has been practiced historically and how race is still being practiced today in education and literacy instruction in the United States.

Why is it important?
When we think about race as practice, instead of as a bodily trait, it helps us to notice what we can do to promote racial justice in small and big ways over time.
Perspectives
When I wrote this article, I intended to help readers rethink race while showing them the value of approaching race as consequential social practice. I hope the analysis and findings move people to try this approach to race in their own research and in their own lives.
