Description

Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope offers a powerful vision for teaching and learning. In this thought-provoking work, bell hooks combines critical thinking with autobiographical narratives to explore the possibilities of education extending beyond the classroom. Through candid reflections on her own experiences, hooks examines how teaching can happen anywhere, at any time - in everyday situations where people come together to share ideas that affect their daily lives. She argues that democratic education is not confined to a classroom and that teachers with vision know that it can be a joyous and inclusive activity. By theorizing from the place of hope and positivity, hooks seeks to understand what works in creating a beloved community and ending racism. This book invites readers to join her in exploring issues such as spirituality in the classroom, white people looking to end racism, and erotic relationships between professors and students.
