"The international focus is quite important. It will not only help students and others to recognize that whiteness is a global issue but also will broaden the academic dialogue on whiteness, which has been dominated by U. S. academic perspectives. This book will contribute to the growing number of discourses that are attempting in profound ways to bring the field of white studies to bear on questions of schooling, education, and educational administration within the context of concerns for equity and social justice." — Nelson Rodriguez, coeditor of Dismantling White Privilege: Pedagogy, Politics, and Whiteness
