While there is a proliferation of research on white educators who
teach courses around anti-racism, White Educators Negotiating
Complicity: Roadblocks Paved with Good Intentions focuses on white
educators who teach about whiteness to racially diverse groups of
students, and who acknowledge and attempt to negotiate their
complicity in systemic injustice. Scholars continue to remind white
people of the paradox through which their endeavors to disrupt
systemic white supremacy often reproduce it. In this book, Barbara
Applebaum explores what it means to teach against whiteness while
living that paradox. Rather than an empirical study, this book offers
insights from recent scholarship surrounding critical whiteness and
epistemic injustice and applies them to some of the most trenchant
challenges that white educators face while trying to teach about
whiteness to racially diverse groups of students. Introducing the
concept of a vigilantly vulnerable and informed humility, Applebaum
both illuminates what theory can tell us about praxis and offers
guidance for white educators in their attempts to negotiate the
effects of white complicity on their pedagogy.
