James Baldwin And The American Schoolhouse - 9780367709716

This book -written for teacher educators, teachers and admires of James Baldwin-employs his essays and speeches to discuss how the effects of race and racism enter the souls of African American students and becomes attached and difficult to dislodge. The purpose of education, defying myths, freedom, willful ignorance, and developing identity are discussed through a Baldwinian lens. African American and European American teachers are encouraged to 'go for broke' as this book explores the important role Baldwin's work can play in schools and universities--
