ABSTRACT
It was in reading I’ve Got a Story to Tell: Identity and Place in the Academy as a graduate student that the idea of theory as liberatory came to have meaning for me. 1 The book is described as follows:
Through storytelling—multicultural, gendered, and classed—the contributors to this text bring the experience of teachers of color to the center of discourse regarding identity, teaching, the politics of difference, and the creation of spaces and places through which the exercise of agency is made manifest within institutions of higher learning. 2
