Abstract
This research consists of a textual analysis of introductory course textbooks using intersectionality as an analytical construct to describe Black women's positionalities. The problem is that teacher education conforms to normative ideologies rather than theorizing the role of teacher candidates as cultural workers within a heterogeneous population of learners. The researcher examines multicultural education to determine if discussions of race, gender, class, and sexuality reinforce socially organized systems of domination. She uses a post-structuralist methodological approach by drawing from the scholarly works of Collins (2000) and Goffman (1963). Investigating the conceptualization of Black females in relation to the power inequalities influencing their educational empowerment, she explores the social construction of experience from the positionality of a Black woman intellectual.
