This is a wonderful, inspiring book. It contains the accounts of the intellectual journeys of a group of teacher-educators (professors and doctoral students) who formed a 'culture circle' in the classic Freirian sense to reflect on their theory and their practice in mentoring and being mentored in teacher education. I read the whole book at one uninterrupted sitting. There are few academic books that are so riveting. The collection of individual and group testimonials breathe life into the concept of 'paradigm shift.' This book will inspire teacher-educators anywhere in the world to reflect on their lives and their practice as teachers, learners, and mentors.

Breaking the Circle of One ties critical pedagogy, autobiography, and mentorship into a revolutionary action. This action is instructive, emancipatory, and theoretical.
