Revealing the Invisible cover

This book examines and confronts the passive and often unconscious racism of white teacher education students, offering a critical tool in the effort to make education more equitable. Sherry Marx provides a consciousness-raising account of how white teachers must come to recognize their own positions of privilege and work actively to create anti-racist teaching techniques and learning environments for children of color and children learning English as a second language.

"Through clear, sincere writing, and a riveting argument, Marx makes it plain that in order to shift the current inequity of education, teachers need first to shift the way they perceive themselves and their tasks...This book, although geared primarily for professionals guiding student teacher and teacher-training curriculum, is a valuable resource for anyone who considers a career in education."--EMME: Electronic Magazine of Multicultural Education, Vol 8 No 2, Fall 2006


"Drawing from data she collected through participant-observations, interviews , and journal entries, Marx engages her readers with an articulate style, an honest tone, and a skillful use of her participants’ narratives which she seamlessly weaves through the book…Even though racism remains difficult to address, Marx provides a much needed blueprint for teacher educators to follow by highlighting seven steps…[that exemplify] how critical reflection and praxis are effective means of countering the invisible and passive racism that pervade our schools."--Soria E. Colomer, Education Review (April 2009)
