Publisher’s Summary
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.
Bell Hooks speakes 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?
Full 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.
“To educate is the practice of freedom,” writes Bell Hooks, “is a way of teaching anyone can learn.” Teaching to Transgress is the record of one gifted teacher’s struggle to make classrooms work.

More Marxist racist claptrap…. in disguise of “education” (indoctrination)…. sad.

Introduction: Teaching to Transgress
…
School changed utterly with racial integration. Gone was the messianic zeal to transform our minds and beings that had characterized teachers and their pedagogical practices in our all-black schools. Knowledge was suddenly about information only. It had no relation to how one lived, behaved. It was no longer connected to antiracist struggle. Bussed to white schools, we soon learned that obedience, and not a zealous will to learn, was what was expected of us. Too much eagerness to learn could easily be seen as a threat to white authority.
When we entered racist, desegregated, white schools we left a world where teachers believed that to educate black children rightly would require a political commitment. Now, we were mainly taught by white teachers whose lessons reinforced racist stereotypes. For black children, education was no longer about the practice of freedom. Realizing this, I lost my love of school. The classroom was no longer a place of pleasure or ecstasy. School was still a political place, since we were always having to counter white racist assumptions that we were genetically inferior, never as capable as white peers, even unable to learn. Yet, the politics were no longer counter-hegemonic. We were always and only responding and reacting to white folks.
That shift from beloved, all-black schools to white schools where black students were always seen as interlopers, as not really belonging, taught me the difference between education as the practice of freedom and education that merely strives to reinforce domination. The rare white teacher who dared to resist, who would not allow racist biases to determine how we were taught, sustained the belief that learning at its most powerful could indeed liberate. A few black teachers had joined us in the desegregation process. And, although it was more difficult, they continued to nurture black students even as their efforts were constrained by the suspicion they were favoring their own race.
Despite intensely negative experiences, I graduated from school still believing that education was enabling, that it enhanced our capacity to be free. When I began undergraduate work at Stanford University, I was enthralled with the process of becoming an insurgent black intellectual. It surprised and shocked me to sit in classes where professors were not excited about teaching, where they did not seem to have a clue that education was about the practice of freedom. During college, the primary lesson was reinforced: we were to learn obedience to authority.

@alnilam Might as well copy and paste the entire book while you’re at it.

The key words here: PASSION, EMOTIONS and FEELINGS.
When it comes to young malleable minds, Marxist indoctrination is easy-peasy, as IT FEELS GOOD can be equated to IT IS GOOD, and IT FEELS BAD can be equated to IT IS BAD. “You children are all feeling it, right? Exactly the way I feel, right? And that definitively confirms other things I say, right?”
How it’s supposed to work, more or less, phase I: Bell Hooks’s followers in public schools work hard to ensure that there’ll be no shortage of properly prepared radicals later, for phase II: unhinged Vicky Osterweil style action on the streets (*).
(*) In Defense of Looting: A Riotous History of Uncivil Action - Vicky Osterweil https://classicaudio.org/audio-books/editing-in-defense-of-looting-a-riotous-history-of-uncivil-action-vicky-osterweil
phase I ….. marxist indoctrination in public schools
phase II …. looting, stealing, destroying property
phase III … 100% political power grab by the Left
phase IV …. utopia?
Theoretically speaking, when all this subversive anti-American stuff is taken to the extreme, the country will burn, the economy will collapse, the people will suffer, and foreign enemies may invade — but who cares, as in the meantime the Left can solidify, cement their hold on political power.
Not to mention that some theories have a nasty habit of turning into reality.

Who cares.

The above observation does not say anything good about trolls, who can’t be bothered with some relevant copy-pasting, or doing something useful for the community.
It’s a lot easier to imagine them in uniform, tasked by their masters with suppressing the political opposition.
Critical thought, objectivity, truth? Nah, whom are you kidding.

@alnilam your stream of thought is one giant vowel movement. Every single thing you write is tedious and tinged with a shade of fanaticism. You think you’re doing people a favour and being impartial, often by copy-pasting opinions directly from sites that pedal extreme views. Your words are beyond useless.

Works great, thanks!

To all the trolls, bots, and one-line posters:
without context and a clear counter-argument your posts are irrelevant and impactless.
If there’s something you want to say, then say it in a way people can engange with it, what else is there to justify your expressions of your existence(s).
