The Price of Nice: How Good Intentions Maintain Educational Inequality.

Edited by Angelina Castagno (University of Minnesota Press, 2019) Recommended by Nina Weisling and Wendy Gardiner Ideologies are the air we breathe, invisible until named. Angelina Castagno's edited book, The Price of Nice: How Good Intentions Maintain Educational Inequality, gives name to socialized niceness, a common and particularly problematic ideology with real implications for classrooms, students, and communities. The chapters in The Price of Nice can be read sequentially or out of order, providing readers with a clear understanding of what niceness is and how it actively works against educational justice in K-16 settings.
