The first edition of Acts of Resistance: Subversive Teaching in the English Language Arts (ELA) Classroom won the 2021 Society of Professors of Education's Outstanding Book Award and garnered other nominations.

The second edition includes a foreword by Ashley Hope Perez, author of the young adult literature novel Out of Darkness, one of the most frequently banned books across U.S. classrooms. Four new chapters reflect sociopolitical changes since the book's publication, including a widespread, coordinated uptick in the banning of books centering authors and characters from marginalized communities; the COVID-19 pandemic and with it, increased acts of violence against folks identifying as Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander; the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless other victims of police brutality; the January 6th insurrection; the closing of the Trump era; the passing of anti-CRT and anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation; and a "e;school choice"e; movement that defunds public schools, deprofessionalizes educators, and places democracy in peril.

Chapters specifically illustrate the storied practices of subversive teachers across the 6-12 ELA context.

They provide educators with instructional ideas on how to do anti-oppressive work while also meeting traditional ELA disciplinary elements.
