This book critically examines nine pre-service teacher candidates and the author’s experience to explore the ways in which white educators manifest understandings of white racial identity and professional choice through oral narratives. Ultimately the text proposes a new, non-developmental model for thinking about white racial identity, while aiming to help teacher educators and teachers to work against the privileges of whiteness so as to better engage students in culturally relevant ways.
