Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This teacher's narrative---stories, poetics, and memory work---layers eleven years of a white woman, living "on" and "off' reserve. Stories, poems and memory work, bring blue-eyed-self-awareness of an educator in a mainstream culture that seldom acknowledges privilege, othering and power. Blue Eyes speaks to white, middle-class Canadians, specifically educators, who are interested in anti-racist pedagogy. On-reserve stories invite. Off-reserve poetics and memory work engage. Poetics, in the context of this research, is a search for insight or beauty or release. The act of creation blends the past and the future, into the now. Memory work coaxes and plays with random and recurring memories, and produces both narrative and poetics. Writing fuels a journey toward anti-racist pedagogy. Blue Eyes Remembering Toward Anti-racist Pedagogy is a white woman teacher's memory montage as she journeys toward anti-racist education. I am she.
