First sentence: Five years after leaving a teaching-credential program and a commitment to teach in urban public schools, I walked back into elementary schools to begin the research for this project.
Description: The author draws from her experiences observing classes at three elementary schools, including two multiracial urban, and one white suburban, to reveal how race influences teachers and other school community members in their interactions with each other and their students.
