Teacher preparation programs continue to certify a predominantly white teaching force, even as students are rapidly diversifying. As a response, A Different Way to be White explores the most salient personal and pedagogical factors that produce critically-conscious, antiracist educators. By tracing the narratives of early-career teachers and seasoned scholar-activists, this book examines the beliefs and life experiences of educators who are dedicated to racial equity. Through interrogation of their allied counterstories, A Different Way to be White reveals the complexity, contradiction, and potential of encouraging white educators to take up the struggle for social justice.
