- Summary:
- White is a high school teacher in a Chicago suburb who has undertaken this study in which she "...examines the life histories of five, millennial, white pre-service teachers...[The study] explores how they have come to see themselves and unpacks the spoken and unspoken biases that shape who they are and who they imagine themselves to be." She presents their stories and then interprets them using Bakhtin's notion of the development of the self. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
