Product Description

Review
"Passionately defines the Black feminist point of view that needs to be reflected upon in classroom discussions."
-"Contemporary Education
""Teaching to Transgress by bell hooks is a book that I not only love, but assign every semester to my Introduction to Women's Studies class. It is one of the best descriptions of the purpose and function of education and the educator that I've ever read. And students love it. So if you know any professors or students who aren't familiar with it, recommend it highly."
-"Feminist Bookstore News, Januanry/February 1999
""Teaching to Transgress is useful as a platform for a critique of current notions and practices of teaching and learning."
-"Canadian Home Economics Journal


Product Description
These essays face squarely the problems of teachers who do not want to teach, and of students who do not want to learn, of racism and sexism in the classroom, and of the gift of freedom that is, for Hooks, the teacher's most important goal. Raising many concerns central to the field of critical pedagogy, Hooks connects them to feminist thought, an area that continues to be underrepresented in work on teaching. At the same time, she also reshapes feminist thinking, bringing to it a vigorous engagement with race and class.

5.0 out of 5 stars absolutely courageous and brilliant, 15 May 1999
By A Customer
Is there a more gifted writer in the world today? bell hooks demonstrates how white male patriarchy has influenced white feminist discourse, making it difficult for Black feminists to be heard. This is incredibly brave writing, and a must read for anyone interested in subverting the paradigms of the white male agenda of eurocentric patriarchy.

5.0 out of 5 stars superp and moving, 26 Nov 1998
By A Customer
bell hooks challenges the economically and educationally advantaged white feminists who would conduct their discourse amongst themselves rather than allow a Black woman to offer her own ideas. In fact, ideas are the purpose of this book, allowing ideas to proliferate in the classroom instead of allowing racist stereotypes prevail. This is a courageous and brilliant book, and something of a threat to the institutionalized and priviledged feminism of white women, particularly at the universities of this country. White feminists ignore this book at their peril, and should read it immediately.
