De la contraportada

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 a systemic and interpersonal level. Based on in-depth interviews, digital narratives, and questionnaires, the book analyzes the toll of racism on teachers' professional experiences and personal well-being, as well as their resistance and reimagination of schools.

"Rita Kohli masterfully argues the persistent discriminatory and racialized experiences of teachers of Color. This book provides excellent recommendations for teacher educators and school district leaders who are working to rebuild the teachers of Color pipeline and reimagine the preparation of and support for teachers of Color in humanizing, antiracist, and justice-focused ways."
--Dorinda J. Carter Andrews, professor and chairperson, Michigan State University

"Teacher educators today need this provocatively instructive book. Rita Kohli provides a gift to all who want--and need--to hear the voices of teachers as they tell their stories of building and practicing racial literacy, resisting racism, and finding ways to thrive. These stories matter and they need to be heard and embraced for their power to instruct and inspire."
--Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz, associate professor, Teachers College, Columbia University

"This book holds at once 'the burning house' that teachers of Color are recruited into and the liberatory spaces they create, never ceding collective learning to the core purpose of racial hierarchy."
--Leigh Patel, professor of education, University of Pittsburgh
