Confronting Racism in Teacher Education aims to transform
systematic and persistent racism through in-depth analyses of
racial justice struggles and strategies in teacher education. By
bringing together counternarratives of critical teacher educators,
the editors of this volume present key insights from both
individual and collective experiences of advancing racial justice.
Written for teacher educators, higher education administrators,
policy makers, and others concerned with issues of race, the book
is comprised of four parts that each represent a distinct
perspective on the struggle for racial justice: contributors
reflect on their experiences working as educators of Color to
transform the culture of predominately White institutions,
navigating the challenges of whiteness within teacher education,
building transformational bridges within classrooms, and training
current and inservice teachers through concrete models of racial
justice. By bringing together these often individualized
experiences, Confronting Racism in Teacher Education reveals larger
patterns that emerge of institutional racism in teacher education,
and the strategies that can inspire resistance.

Teachers of Color describes how racism serves as a continuous
barrier against diversifying the teaching force and offers tools to
support educators who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of
Color on both a systemic and interpersonal level. Based on in-depth
interviews, digital narratives, and questionnaires, the book
analyzes the toll of racism on their professional experiences and
personal wellbeing, as well as their resistance and reimagination
of schools. Teacher educator and educational researcher Rita Kohli
documents the hostile racial climate that teachers of color
experience over the course of their academic and professional
lives-first as students and preservice teachers and later in their
classrooms and schools. She also highlights the tools of resistance
these teachers employ to challenge institutionalized oppression and
the kinds of professional development and support they need to
thrive. Analyzed through the lens of critical race theory, Teachers
of Color exposes the ongoing racialization via counter-stories from
thirty racially, geographically, and professionally diverse
educators. The book concludes with recommendations that various
education stakeholders can employ to improve the racial climates of
schools and support the growing diversity of the teaching force. At
this critical moment, Kohli offers readers an opportunity to
strengthen their racial literacies and better understand the
strengths, struggles, and power of teachers of color.
