Saeed Nazaris story is as fascinating as it is informative. Many of the trials and tribulations that educators encounter on their route to teaching are present in this text. For example, Saeeds accounts of his earliest days of competitive education to his most recent immersion in currere are rich with challenge, opportunity, serendipity, and complexity. His various stories are filled with passion, fraught with tension, and brimming with adventure. Anthony Clarke, Professor, Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy, Centre for the Study of Teacher Education, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada Working autobiographically, Saeed Nazari provides a powerful illustration of the journey to teach, from the historical circumstancesfamilial, institutional, and politicalthat drew him to education, in the first instance, to the role of currere in opening up new ways of interacting with his educational present. This work undercuts any simple story of becoming a teacher. It invites consideration of the importance of history and dialogue in teacher development. Anne M.
