Inhaltsangabe

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 well-being, 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 counterstories 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.

"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
