"This volume provides a diverse collection of the complexities, challenges, spaces of resistance, and possibilities faculty, specifically Black, Indigenous and racialized faculty encounter while teaching for antiracism in Canadian teacher education programs. By challenging the pedagogical, curricular, structural, and institutional underpinnings of teacher education framed by whiteness, the book seeks to disrupt white normalcy by unpacking, dismantling the hierarchies, intersectionalities, positionalities and knowledge production through transformative antiracist pedagogies. The text underscores education as a contested space, a space of oppression and violence whereby racialized epistemologies, ontologies, and dispositions are marginalized by whiteness (Dei, 2014/2012/2006/1996). As such the text seeks out ways to re-think teacher education from an antiracist paradigm through resistance and activism in order to prepare teacher candidates as practitioners, for antiracist work with increasingly racialized students, families and communities."--
