“This book is for any of us who refuse to retreat from the work of anti-racism in education and society. Teachers deserve resources like this to inform their practices in pursuit of equity.”
—H. Richard Milner IV, Professor, Vanderbilt University, USA
"This book fills an often identified but rarely addressed scholarly gap. In this text, readers will find both strategies for preparing teachers for racially diverse classrooms and essential practices for inviting novice educators to interrogate their assumptions."
—Catherine Compton-Lilly, Professor, University of South Carolina, Columbia, USA
“A timely, critical, and compelling book that addresses the need to rethink, reimagine, and restructure preservice and in-service teacher education to illuminate the anti-racist, educational dreams and possibilities educators can achieve.”
—Nathaniel Bryan, Associate Professor, University of Texas at Austin, USA
Using a framework combining Critical Race Theory and Critical Reflection and Generativity for Transformative Praxis, this book examines both how white preservice teachers conceive of race and racism (habits of mind) and how they react when dealing with race and racism in the classroom (patterns of acting). With firm grounding in real-world data, the authors detail ways in which teacher educators can recognize and deal with preservice teachers who cannot—or will not—translate their reflections on race into actions against racism.

“Straight to the point! Powerful, enlightening essays that urge teacher educators to do anti-racist teaching and to stop musing over what to do and how to do it. Each chapter gives reasons for why White teachers need anti-racist education.” (Carl A. Grant, Professor, University of Wisconsin – Madison, USA)
“This book is for any of us who refuse to retreat from the work of anti-racism in education and society. As teachers face increasingly complex needs of teaching all students, they deserve resources like this – grounded in research – to inform their practices in pursuit of equity.” (H. Richard Milner IV, Professor, Vanderbilt University, USA)
“This book will fill an often identified but rarely addressed scholarly gap. Significantly, it will help teacher educators to better prepare teachers. While many scholars and texts call for teachers to be prepared for racially diverse classrooms, few texts provide viable strategies for making this happen. Similarly, while many scholars and texts argue that preservice teachers must address their own assumptions and beliefs about racially diverse children, few texts describe how this might happen. In this text, readers will find both strategies for preparing teachers for racially diverse classrooms and essential practices for inviting novice educators to interrogate their assumptions. I highly recommend this book.” (Catherine Compton-Lilly, Professor, University of South Carolina, Columbia, USA)

It is a vital text for educators dedicated to transforming educational practices and advancing social justice.” (Nicholas D. Hartlep, Robert Charles Billings Endowed Chair in Education, Berea College, USA)
