Document Summary
When the big snow melt"s: white women teaching in canada"s north by helen. Two southern white canada"s teaching in aboriginal communities. Both were suddenly and acutely aware of their racial identity and struggled with their identities. Had never been really aware of their racial identity until they were put in these communities. Struggled to view themselves as oppressors because of their privilege. Study interested in how white, first nations and other visible-minority women teaching in isolated northern aboriginal communities create and negotiate a sense of themselves and their work. Draws on the experiences of 12 women. Many white southern" teachers that find themselves employed in the north only stay for about a year. Antiracist education confronts educational policies/practices that reproduce race, gender, sex, class and other inequalities. This inclusive antiracist education is an alternative to the responses that have historically characterized the production/treatment of human difference in. Examines issues of power in relation to how identities are produced/normalized in schools.
