Klappentext Featuring articles by educator-activists, this collection explores the largely forgotten history of attempts by African Americans to use education as a tool of collective liberation. Together these articles explore the variety of forms those attempts have taken, from the shadow of slavery to the contradictions of hip-hop. Zusammenfassung The self-conscious use of education as an instrument of liberation among African Americans is as old as education among African Americans. This work is about those forms of education intended to help people think more critically about the social forces shaping their lives and think confidently about their ability to react against those forces.
