In this work of curriculum theory, Ed Douglas McKnight addresses
and explores the intersections between place (with specific
discussion of Kincheloe's and Pinar's conceptualization of place
and identity) and race (specifically Winthrop Jordan's historical
analysis of race as an Anglo-European construction that became the
foundation of a white mythos). To that end, he employs a form of
narrative construction called curriculum vitae (course of life)-a
method of locating and delineating identity formation which
addresses how theories of place, race and identity formation play
out in a particular concrete life. By working through how place
racializes identity and existence, the author engages in a long
Southern tradition of storytelling, but in a way that turns it
inside out. Instead of telling his own story as a means to
romanticize the sins of the southern past, he tells a new story of
growing up within the "white" discourse of the Deep South in the
1960s and 70s, tracking how his racial identity was created and how
it has followed him through life. Significant in this narrative is
how the discourse of whiteness and place continues to express
itself even within the subject position of a curriculum theorist
teaching in a large Deep South university. The book concludes with
an elaboration on the challenges of engaging in the necessary
anti-racist complicated conversation within education to begin to
work through and cope with heavy racialized inheritances.
