Inquiry and Reflection shows how stories of schooling can elucidate difficult, and unexamined problems facing teachers. While professional texts tend to raise issues of power and its distribution and questions of culture and ideology, often the manner of presentation is abstract, and pre-service teachers have difficulty making connections. Yet literary, film, and video materials illuminate problems and suggest ideas to which teachers can actively respond.This book offers teacher educators a variety of resources for articulating a critical pedagogy and suggests an alternative to the technical, job training approach to teacher education by providing a unique educational curricula that illuminates issues of power, ideology, and culture.

A study of representation and the "politics of place" through a pedagogy of narrative-forming inquiry and a critical reflection on identity. It seeks to propose a multicultural revision of knowledge that displaces the binarisms of insider/outsider rather than shifting the margin to the centre.
