Abstract

My purpose is to explore the perennial problem of White resistance in multicultural education in light of poststructural theory. Following reviews of literature about white resistance and poststructuralism, I describe and analyze three promising studies that use this lens. I theorize poststructural approaches as promising additions to white resistance work.
