Improving education outcomes for Black students begins with
resisting racist characterizations of blackness. Chezare A. Warren,
a nationally recognized scholar of race and education equity,
emphasizes the imperative that possibility drive efforts aimed at
transforming education for Black learners. Inspired by the "freedom
dreaming" of activists in the Black radical tradition, the book is
comprised of nine principles that clarify how centering possibility
actively refuses limitations for what Black people can create,
accomplish, and achieve. This interdisciplinary volume also
features over 30 original images, poems, and lyrics by Black
artists from around the United States, each helping to breathe new
life into the concept of possibility and its relevance to remaking
Black children's experience of school. Warren draws on research in
history, cultural studies, and sociology to cast a vision of Black
education futures unencumbered by antiblackness and white
supremacy. This justice-oriented text will inspire innovative
solutions to eliminating harm and generating education alternatives
Black students desire and deserve.Book Features: Describes
practical, antideficit approaches to educating Black children,
youth, and young adults. Focuses on productively reorienting
visions, philosophies, and rationales guiding contemporary Black
education transformation work. Includes relatable stories and
anecdotes written in a conversational style. Filled with
provocative pieces of original art by Black artists, such as
paintings, drawings, photographs, mixed media, spoken word, poems,
and song lyrics.
