"This book invited us to consider the role of white women educators as they enact race-gendered power within a white patriarchal system that limits their own agency and authority...an invaluable call to critical reflection and action for white women and everyone who cares deeply about disrupting educational injustice."

Amanda Kibler, Oregon State University, USA

"The authors successfully balance interrogating systems-like whiteness-alongside individual habits that perpetuate violence, even in spaces focused on social justice...and to use the concepts detailed in this text to reflect, advocate, and act to disrupt paternalism and whiteness in service of equity and liberatory education."

Lauren N. Irwin, University of Tennessee, Knoxville, USA

"The strength of this text lies not only in the authors' desire to illuminate how whiteness is transacted in educational contexts, but what might be done to challenge these everyday transactions."

Zak Foste, University of Kansas, USA

This book considers the causes and effects of an education field that remains white and gendered and critically examines how the race-gendered power afforded to white women in educational spaces is transacted through instructional practices and interpersonal interactions. White women occupy a complex position in society within systems of white supremacy and patriarchy, participating as both oppressors and oppressed. Emphasizing the consequences of whiteness for educational professionals and students of all racial identities, the chapters in this book offer strategies for identifying and moving beyond the gendered transaction of whiteness, including what white women can do instead and how all educators can work toward transformative antiracist education.
