Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 175-192) and index.
Contents Introduction -- Curricular tools of whiteness -- The iceberg : racial ideology and curriculum -- Reframing understandings of race within teacher education -- Disrupting whiteness in teacher education -- Humanizing racial justice in teacher education.
Summary "When racist curriculum "goes viral" on social media, it is typically dismissed as an isolated incident from a "bad" teacher. Educator Bree Picower, however, holds that racist curriculum isn't an anomaly. It's a systemic problem that reflects how Whiteness is embedded and reproduced in education. In Reading, Writing, and Racism, Picower argues that White teachers must reframe their understanding about race in order to advance racial justice and that this must begin in teacher education programs"-- Provided by publisher.
