resulting in growing inequities in the U.S. educational field. Many view this as being driven

together in one volume educultural practices and teaching strategies that deconstruct
whiteness hegemony empower individuals to develop critical consciousness and inspire them to
engage in social justice activism. Through music the visual and performing arts narrative

institutional forces that make up whiteness hegemony. Educulturalism allows us to identify how
whiteness hegemony functions to obscure the power privilege and practices of the dominant
social elite and reproduce inequities and inequalities within education and wider society.
