Enseñar a transgredir

In Teaching how to transgress, Bell Hooks, writer, teacher, and insurgent intellectual, writes about a new kind of education, education as a practice of freedom. Teaching students to "transgress" racial, sexual, and class boundaries to achieve the gift of freedom is, for Hooks, the teacher's most important goal. Bell Hooks speaks to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do with teachers who don't want to teach and students who don't want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom? Filled with passion and politics, Teaching to Transgress combines a practical knowledge of the classroom with a deep connection to the world of emotions and feelings. This is an unusual book about teachers and students that dares to ask questions about eros and rage, pain and reconciliation, and the future of teaching itself. "Educating as a practice of freedom -writes Bell Hooks- is a way of teaching that anyone can learn."
