New to Penguin Classics, one of the most influential works of Black
social criticism ever written The Mis-education of the Negro is
today considered one of the most influential works by 'the father
of Black history', Carter G. Woodson, setting the table for
generations of antiracist teaching pioneered by Black educators. As
both student and teacher, Woodson witnessed the distortions of
Black life in the history and literature taught in schools and
universities. He believed that there was a relationship between
these distortions and the violence that circumscribed Black life in
the material world, declaring, "There would be no lynching it if
did not start in the schoolroom." Mixing social criticism, history,
theory and memoir, The Mis-education of the Negro argues cogently
that students, teachers, and leaders needed to be educated in a
manner that was accountable to Black experiences and lived
realities, both past and present.
