What do we do about teachers  who do not want toáteach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom?Full of passion  and politics, Teaching to Transgressácombines a practical knowledge of the classroom with a deeply felt connection to the world of emotions and feelings.á This is the rare book about teachers and students that dares to raise questions about eros and rage, grief and reconciliation, and the future of teaching itself.'Toáeducate is the practice of freedom,' writes bell hooks, 'isáa way of teaching anyone can learn.' Teaching toáTransgress is theárecord of one gifted teacherâÇÖs struggle to make classrooms work.
