Reflections on We Can't Teach What We Don't Know: White Teachers, Multiracial Schools
I found this book settling in the midst of my own efforts to sort out and address issues of White priviledge and dominance.

This is one that will make you think.
Nieto did a fantastic job handling this subject and I love how challenged I am by it! It really causes you to think very deeply about multicultural education and the sociopolitical factors that come into play. The case studies are the best part of this text, though. I love the fact that there are follow-ups in the back of the book for several of the kids! Even if you think you know all ...

Teachers College Press, 1999

AN IMPORTANT BOOK!
In this book, Sonia Nieto clearly makes known to the reader a thorough understanding of what it takes to teach in multicultural contexts. It is very rare for me to be so attached to a book that is embedded heavily in research and educational theories, without putting it down for a few days. Nieto was able to hold my attention with easy, readable language and personal narratives of other ...
