«It is clear Lynnette Mawhinney truly understands what can be conceptualized, studied, and practiced as two disparate fields – urban education and pre-service teacher education, as she sheds light on the intersecting nature of them. Indeed, this is a serious book that will make an important contribution to what we know about the teacher education pipeline, urban education, as well as how to study the lived experiences of Black pre-service teachers.» (From the foreword by H. Richard Milner IV)
