“…In our initial research meetings, the teacher participants and I discussed the concepts of language, discourse, ideology, and Whiteness, and read excerpts from of a variety texts that explored these concepts: Applebaum (), DiAngelo (), Frankenberg (, ), Gee (1998), Hall (, ), Leonardo (), Lipsitz (), Thompson (), Flores and Rosa (), and Baldwin (). During our third research meeting, we read excerpts from articles by Flores and Rosa () and Baldwin ().…”

This paper analyzes data from a Participatory Action Research project with four White women teachers who work in U.S. secondary schools that serve predominately students of color. This critical analysis examines the consequences of the White women teachers’ racialized identities for the language practices, language teaching, and racialized language ideologies in their classrooms. In particular, this paper focuses on the teachers’ relationships to teaching their students of color to “code‐switch” to English language practices deemed “standard.” This paper uses the White teachers’ relationships to teaching code‐switching to their students of color as a prism through which to explicate the entangling of race and language in classrooms.

“…These points of convergence are never purely descriptive or neutral. Indeed, exchanges of cultural property rarely have been harmonious or smooth throughout the history of US society and its institutions (Baldwin 1997;Aparicio 1998;Sidanius and Pratto 1999). Gloria Anzaldúa (1999) reminds us that tongues have been tamed, some for ever silenced, by linguistic terrorism and imperialism in the conflictive and frequently violent dispossession of languages in the United States.…”

“…Stamped From The Beginning consistently challenged me to staredown the mire of my racist hypnosis-which is not the inability to see the world for what it is, but the supremacist refusal to do so (Baldwin 1979). Milwaukee, Wisconsin is only a three hours' drive from my current residence, and is a place my family used to visit when I was a child to see the predatorprey exhibits at the Milwaukee County Zoo and also to attend Brewers' American League Baseball games.…”

American Whiteness as Perpetual Madness: Don Quixote Through the Lens of Ibram X. Kendi’s Stamped From The Beginning

In Stamped From The Beginning (2016), Ibram X. Kendi provides a typology of the ways in which segregationist racism, assimilationist racism, and anti-racism work in the U.S. through the lives of Cotton Mather, Thomas Jefferson, William Lloyd Garrison, W.E.B. Du Bois, and Angela Davis. Kendi's book thus offers several lived-in models for probing the reach of Whiteness, racism, and anti-racism in specific places and times rather than in the abstract. The academic abstraction of real-world problems is a danger that Vine Deloria, Jr. discussed as a part of his leadership within the American Indian Movement of the late 1960's and early 1970's. Deloria asked youth to avoid being "ego-fed by abstract theories and hence unwittingly manipulated" (1969:84). In the analysis to follow, I apply Kendi's typology of racist and anti-racist ideas to the novel Don Quixote as a practical work of anti-racism in the subject area of educational equity.
