Only a thorough exploration of these intersections can open up a deeper understanding of racism against particular groups that have emerged in the European historical context and point to ways of intervening in the racial practices of the present. The chapters in the book are structured into two parts: the first section focuses on particular themes like representation of race and gender inequality, as well as everyday racism in educational institutions, whereas in the second section, the intersections of race and gender are explored in national contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents    List of Illustrations    Acknowledgements     Teaching \"Race\" with a Gendered Edge - Introduction     Racism and gender - historical background      Colonial legacies and migration     Problematising \"white\" Western feminism and whiteness      Spaces of \/ for change     The chapters in the book     PART I: THEMATIC EXPLORATIONS     Chapter 1: Breaking the Canon?
