Confessions of a White Educator: Stories in Search of Justice and Diversity provides a collection of stories and essays that offer an insightful analysis of the factors that limit and sometimes derail our best efforts to educate future generations. Exploring the formidable obstacle that racism and its denial continue to pose in education, the book provokes us to examine our views about, and perhaps complicity in, the failure of the nation’s public schools. Edited by Joan T. Wynne, Lisa Delpit, and Ron E. Miles, Confessions of a White Educator: Stories in Search of Justice and Diversity features stories and essays that confront the contradictory and absurd public education policies, behaviors, and practices that stem from a misunderstanding of difference, denial of the pervasive influence of racism, and a belief that only certain voices are worth hearing. 
A captivating and compelling read, Confessions of a White Educator: Stories in Search of Justice and Diversity should be read by every person who aspires to teach, who is teaching, or who wants to understand the complex issues that limit what can be achieved in our public schools. The dean of every college of education in the nation should make this book a required read for future teachers. Robert M. Dixon, Ph.D., Dean of Academic Affairs Medgar Evans College | City University of New York
