Abstract

William Tate proposed that critical race scholars in education look to moral and spiritual texts to unpack and interrogate the workings of race and other forms of marginalization in schools. While Tate did not offer the ways in which this vision is manifest, the participants in this study situated themselves within a religio-spiritual worldview through which they sought social justice in schools. The authors in this paper highlight a theoretical framework by an inclusive reading of Critical Race Theory as ‘ordinary theology’ to explore how Black female principals interrogate gendered and raced practices and promote social justice in schools. © 2009 Taylor & Francis Ltd.
