"In this moment, we need models for antiracist professional learning that honour teaching as relational, intellectual, and political work. In Building Pedagogues, Casey and McManimon offer such a model … Those who support the learning and development of teachers will come away from this text with rich insights into teachers' sensemaking processes and important design considerations for antiracist learning." — Educational Reform"…an intimate look at white teachers' engagement in RaceWork … The text speaks eloquently to various audiences. White schoolteachers will find challenging self-reflective mirrors while drawing courage from the 8 teachers' experiences shared within. Likewise, faculty and professional developers working with white teachers or teacher candidates, will find helpful guidance and fellowship. Additionally, it is an exemplar of researcher–participant action research, which can be used for methodological studies in higher education." — Teachers College Record"Finally, a framework for what countless teachers are asking for, illustrated with concrete examples of what building pedagogies looks like in practice, with all of the questions, contradictions, emotional struggles, shortcomings, and learnings surfaced and honored. Casey and McManimon offer a deep dive into a professional community for white teachers to learn about whiteness and to act against white supremacy in this brilliantly written book that is deeply theorized, richly detailed, conversational, and engaging, with a self-critical honesty that cannot help but to draw in the reader. This book will change our profession, and cannot come at a more demanding time." — Kevin Kumashiro, author of Against Common Sense: Teaching and Learning toward Justice
