bell hooks is Distinguished Professor of English at City College in New York and a nationally recognized teacher. This book is a collection of passionately written essays about teaching and about "education as the practice of freedom". A list of some of the chapter titles indicates the tone of the collection: "Engaged Pedagogy," "Theory as Liberatory Practise," and "Ecstasy: Teaching and Learning Without Limits."
hooks sees her teaching practice as a battle against sexism, racism, and classism. This book is an excellent antidote to the current fashion
of promoting education as merely a route to employment.
