What is it that gives many of us White people a visceral fear about discussing race?

Do you realize that being able to not think about or talk about it is a uniquely White experience?

Do you warn your children about how people might react to them; find store staff following or watching you; get stopped by the police for no reason?

“While many of us long for teaching as something transcendent and powerful, we find ourselves too-often locked in situations that reduce teaching to a kind of glorified clerking, passing along a curriculum of received wisdom and predigested and generally false bits of information. This collection offers a means to disrupt and reconnect, and a way forward."?Bill Ayers

To overcome the common fear of discussing race, of saying “something wrong”, this book brings together over thirty contributions by teachers and students of different ethnicities and races who offer their experiences, ideas, and advice.

For any teacher grappling with addressing race in the classroom, and for pre-service teachers confronting their anxieties about race, this book offers a rich resource of insights, approaches and guidance that will allay fears, and provide the reflective practitioner with the confidence to initiate and respond to discussion of race, from the pre-school and elementary classroom through high school.
