A fresh portrayal of one of the architects of the African American
intellectual tradition, whose faith in the subversive power of
education will inspire teachers and learners today. Black education
was a subversive act from its inception. African Americans pursued
education through clandestine means, often in defiance of law and
custom, even under threat of violence. They developed what Jarvis
Givens calls a tradition of “fugitive pedagogy”—a theory and
practice of Black education in America. The enslaved learned to
read in spite of widespread prohibitions; newly emancipated people
braved the dangers of integrating all-White schools and the
hardships of building Black schools. Teachers developed covert
instructional strategies, creative responses to the persistence of
White opposition. From slavery through the Jim Crow era, Black
people passed down this educational heritage. There is perhaps no
better exemplar of this heritage than Carter G.
Woodson—groundbreaking historian, founder of Black History Month,
and legendary educator under Jim Crow. Givens shows that Woodson
succeeded because of the world of Black teachers to which he
belonged: Woodson’s first teachers were his formerly enslaved
uncles; he himself taught for nearly thirty years; and he spent his
life partnering with educators to transform the lives of Black
students. Fugitive Pedagogy chronicles Woodson’s efforts to fight
against the “mis-education of the Negro” by helping teachers
and students to see themselves and their mission as set apart from
an anti-Black world. Teachers, students, families, and communities
worked together, using Woodson’s materials and methods as they
fought for power in schools and continued the work of fugitive
pedagogy. Forged in slavery, embodied by Woodson, this tradition of
escape remains essential for teachers and students today.
