Black student teachers' experiences of racism in the white school : strategies of resilience and survival

This book investigates the racism experienced by Black teacher trainee Post-graduate students whilst on teaching placements in South London primary schools.

Using critical race theory as an epistemological lens, the book goes on to explore their experiences in school via testimonies around the gaslighting they were subjected to.

Chapters delve into how these students work to fit themselves into the school’s white space at an emotional and psychological cost and addresses the questions these experiences raise for those in charge of PGCE courses and Initial Teacher Education.
