AB Part of a special issue on Latino citizenship and social justice. A study was conducted to examine citizenship normalizing and white preservice social studies teachers. Data were obtained from interviews, weekly observations, and documents produced by participants in a “Methods and Materials in Secondary Social Studies Class” comprising 24 students. Findings revealed that participants found the notion of particular skills or knowledge associated with being a citizen to be strange; such skills and knowledge were taken for granted as parts of their culture and were unacknowledged facets of their identities as white, middle-class people. Findings indicate that most of the white participants were uncomfortable discussing their own civic identities and about citizenship as a way of bringing in social justice and change. Findings are discussed in detail.
