Liberation and Education brings together a collection of essays about Black educators’ and organizations’ quests to cultivate and employ educational strategies for the liberation of Black people. The contributions examine the enduring nature of Black people’s thinking about education prior to and through enslavement to the present. It documents a variety of critical accounts of how Black people have developed ways to free themselves mentally from the legacies of slavery, the view of Black inferiority, and white supremacy.
"Liberation and Education embodies the Sankofa spirit, illuminating the past, present, and future of Black intellectual thought. From African ancestors to contemporary voices across the diaspora, this volume affirms that Black communities have always engaged—and will continue to engage—in transformative educational strategies that nurture our collective well-being." - Gloria Swindler Boutte, coeditor of We Be Lovin' Black Children: Learning to Be Literate About the African Diaspora
