New thinking about the role of education in confined environments.
As the work of Malcolm X, Angela Y. Davis, and others has made
clear, education in prison has enabled people to rethink systems of
oppression. Courses in reading and writing help incarcerated
students feel a sense of community, examine the past and present,
and imagine a better future. Yet incarcerated students often lack
the resources, materials, information, and opportunity to pursue
their coursework, and training is not always available for those
who teach incarcerated students. This volume will aid both new and
experienced instructors by providing strategies for developing
courses, for creating supportive learning environments, and for
presenting and publishing incarcerated students' scholarly and
creative work. It also suggests approaches to self-care designed to
help instructors sustain their work. Essays incorporate the
perspectives of both incarcerated and non-incarcerated teachers and
students, centering critical prison studies scholarship and
abolitionist perspectives. This volume contains discussion of Mumia
Abu-Jamal's Live from Death Row, Marita Bonner's The Purple Flower,
Suzanne Collins's The Hunger Games, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein,
and William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew and Othello.
