"I Stopped Sleeping": Teachers of Color and the Impact of Racial Battle Fatigue
Pizarro, Marcos; Kohli, Rita
Urban Education, v55 n7 p967-991 Sep 2020
Racial battle fatigue (RBF) has been operationalized as the psychological, emotional, and physiological toll of confronting racism. In this article, RBF is used to analyze the toll of racism on teachers of Color who work within a predominantly White profession. We present counterstories of justice-oriented, urban, teachers of Color who demonstrate racism in their professional contexts as a cumulative and ongoing experience that has a detrimental impact on their well-being and retention in the field. We also share their strategies of resilience and resistance, as they rely on a critical community to persist and transform their schools.
