Excellent. Short and very readable with lots of excellent stories and examples to help White teachers develop a better racial identity for themselves and a stronger toolbox for addressing racism in schools on many levels.

An illuminating, clear, and accessible book. From the perspective of a white reader, this could be a powerful grounding text for teachers & admins engaging in inquiry and reflection around race & equity.
Miller Sherling –
Almost done with this, have been reading as part of group at my workplace. So readable and accessible, such a difficult, defensiveness-triggering topic, treated with absolute humility and compassion by the author. She has done great work here; I recommend this to, well, everyone.
