(1 review)

In Teaching to Transgress bell hooks—writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual—writes about a new kind of education, education as the practice of freedom. 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.

the best. simply, just.... aaaah! I love this book with all my heart. Reading it is like slipping under a warm blanket. A must read for, well, everybody, but particularly people positioned in some way near to education.
