This volume demonstrates the instrumental use of Currere as a
methodology to bring about Deracialisation through transformational
learning by a white educator in Post-Apartheid South Africa. Offering
an honest and vulnerable recognition of privilege and exclusivity, it
disrupts deep-seated racial bias and assumptions, unveils racial blind
spots, and confronts the discourse that South African "white"
educators are, overtly or covertly, perpetuating systemic racism
within schools. Based on autoethnographic analyses of the author’s
lived educational experiences within the Apartheid regime, it uses the
theoretical concepts of Currere to initiate her journey towards
Deracialisation and transform her current pedagogical practice. In
doing so, the book demonstrates how critical self-examination of
underlying beliefs that lead to actions, and how the past – in this
case, being born, raised, and educated within the Apartheid era –
can influence one’s teaching in ways that harm the educational
development of culturally diverse learners. Grappling with how
autoethnographical experiences in a specific setting can inform
current pedagogy, and be used to bring about professional and personal
transformation, this book will be of interest to scholars,
postgraduate students, and educational researchers with interests in
curriculum theory, race and education, transformative learning,
Deracialisation, and autoethnography.
