Archives Online Pubs Aera. Educational Researcher, Vol. I am pleased to have an opportunity to respond to Rosa Sheets's essay .
Sheets raises important issues regarding the appropriate role of Whites in multicultural education.
However, several of her assertions require different and deeper analysis than she provides. I will examine five of her assertions. In addition, since the release of my book early in 1999, I have received many comments from educators of color who have found creative ways to utilize the book in their teaching. A Filipina professor of education in Seattle uses it as a bridge to communicate with her White graduate students about issues of race. An American Indian instructor on the Yakima Reservation uses the book to teach about social dominance and oppression with her community college students.
