In particular, the contributing authors to this collection of chapters present a collection of chapters (contemporary discourses) that will illuminate and critique the practices, structures, and politics in both teacher preparation programs and public school settings that affect LGBTQ teachers and their identity in relation to the struggles of teachers as professionals face in obtaining recognition. The contributing authors of the book focus on teachers are entering educational settings where difference connotes not equal, and discourses of LGBTQ politics, identity, and difference are interwoven with a realization of discrimination and marginalization. The authors, drawing on their personal and professional experiences, give much needed voice to recognition and the formation of identity from a LGBTQ viewpoint as they relate to teachers, teacher educators, and other cultural workers responsible for shaping professional identities of teachers and for teaching students in schools and classrooms across the nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA powerful and timely collection that uses a LGBTQ perspective to interrogate the normative ideological effects of heteronormativity on teacher educators and preservice and practicing teachers, especially when transgressing the inherent reproductive conservatism of public schools.  This books calls for a deep equity by advancing research and scholarship as to how a critical pedagogy of identity can improve teaching and teacher education.  Viewed through an intersectional lens of LGBTQ and teacher identities along with pedagogy, each chapter offers educators at all levels a transformative standpoint on teaching and learning. -- Michael Vavrus, Professor Emeritus, The Evergreen State College; Past-president of the Association of Liberal Arts Colleges for Teacher Education\u003cbr\u003eIn this edited volume, Patrick Jenlink introduces authors who critically engage issues of identity for LGBTQ teachers, student teachers, and students in k-12 and teacher education spaces. Utilizing the voices of LGBTQ teachers and student teachers, authors trouble the reader’s conception of teacher identity and provide nuanced snapshots of the impacts of heteronormativity, coming out stories, and straight privilege that will certainly influence teacher education\/teaching practices in various classroom spaces. Throughout the book, authors take up queer and other critical theories to nuance teacher identity models and offer students an opportunity to affirm their multiple identities, whether or not those identities include queer. As Jenlink asserts, “there is a need for a pedagogy of identity that understands the necessity of providing a space within which one can become the author of one’s own interpretation of one’s identity as teacher.” This combination of theory, practice, and student\/teacher voices – that also highlights the importance of identity as performance – makes this book a must read for those across the teacher preparation landscape. -- J.B.
