Presents the first-person stories of White women teachers who tell us not only how they have grappled with race in diverse classrooms, but how they continue to this day to be challenged by issues of colour and privilege. These are no stories of heroic feats or achievement of perfection, but stories of self-disclosure that lay bare their authors' emotions, ideas, curiosity, vulnerability, and reflections as they engaged with race, and challenged practices of colour blindness and empathetic distance.
