A Good Read about Politics in Education

As to be expected, bell hooks uses direct language to talk about the deficiencies in American culture. What I liked about this book is the hopefulness that is possible to change and be an agent of change. She calls it like it is, which can offend some people. This book is a very good read for anyone interested in creating social justice in education.

Brilliant.

Totally eye opening. Really makes you question yourself and strive to be better. Reassuring that change and progress is still possible. Truly an inspiration. I also recommend Killing Rage, by bell hooks.

interesting, insightful read

I am reading this book for my Introduction to Feminisms class. So far, I have been enlightened by bell hooks' thoughts and experiences as an African American teacher. She clearly and effectively explains her stance on race relations and white supremacy in the context of her life experiences.
