ABSTRACT
In the case of race and racism, the future teachers dialogues provide salient topics from which social change can emanate; likewise, the strong narrative focus of critical race theory (CRT) offers instruction for creating and using counter-narratives. Nonviolence offered a way to attack the system of racism while maintaining the humanity of every opponent and ally. This chapter focuses on deep theoretical understanding of systemic oppression developed by theories like CRT offers practical steps to fight these systems while dialogic pedagogy provides the methods for their exploration. During the period of the Enlightenment, the theory of universal human rights created a contradiction between philosophical desires and economic realities. The process of education becomes one of waking up students' minds from the deadening effects of banking models of education and creating a space where they come to recognize and flex their individual and communal humanities.
