Teaching students to \"transgress\" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for hooks, the teacher's most important goal.\nbell hooks speaks to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do about teachers who do not want to teach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom?\nFull of passion and politics, Teaching to Transgress combines a practical knowledge of the classroom with a deeply felt connection to the world of emotions and feelings. This is the rare book about teachers and students that dares to raise questions about eros and rage, grief and reconciliation, and the future of teaching itself.\n\"To educate is the practice of freedom,\" writes bell hooks, \"is a way of teaching anyone can learn.\" Teaching to Transgress is therecord of one gifted teacher's struggle to make classrooms work.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0415908086\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0415908086.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:bell hooks\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
