Abstract
Transformative Inclusive Education is a book balanced by both authenticity and scholarship. This is a text focused on “a search for social justice along a road where all voices are valued and essential to finding the way” (Freeze et al., 2023, p. 2). The retinue of authors work together to bring a tangible definition of inclusive education to the fore and then take the reader through applications of inclusive educational work at macro and micro levels, from policy writing to classroom activities. Its thesis is that it is possible for all students to receive equitable access to an inclusive education, but for this to happen educational systems must confront “inequities and troubling traditional practices that perpetuate norms of exclusion” (p. 404). This is a book about inclusion that is itself a model of its own subject matter – a truly inclusive text. It is an important and timely resource for pre-service teachers, educators in K-12 classrooms and those working in the post-secondary environment.
