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.
"Here is a tidbit of news. Sunday afternoon [LSU's] President Smith
took me for an automobile ride and asked if a literary quarterly
could be edited here if he could get the jack in large quantities.
I was not coy.... The magazine will be called the Southern Review".
-- Robert Penn Warren to Allen Tate March 20, 1935
"Cross your fingers and pray that Louisiana doesn't go
broke!"
-- Warren to Frank Owsley March 21, 1935
at the beginning of 1935, Robert Penn Warren was destined for
arguably the most crucial period in his distinguished career.
Having escaped the brink of unemployment the previous fall to join
fellow Vanderbilt alumnus and Rhodes scholar Cleanth Brooks on the
English faculty at Louisiana State University (which was enjoying a
boom thanks to the favoritism shown by the Long regime), the young
author was poised to establish himself, against the backdrop of the
Great Depression and America's belated entry into World War II, as
a compelling new voice, perhaps the most versatile writer of his
generation.
Continuing where Volume One of the Selected Letters left off,
the missives from his Baton Rouge years show Warren exploring and
testing the boundaries of his genius on a number of simultaneous
fronts. Editing the Southern Review with Brooks was the center of
his working life, and it offered him an almost immediate
springboard to prominence on both sides of the Atlantic. Warren was
determined to establish and maintain the stature of the quarterly
even as he systematically nurtured the talent of a younger
generation of writers that included Eudora Welty, Randall Jarrell,
Peter Taylor, and John Berryman. He attended to his own writing as
well and not only emerged as acelebrated poet but also published
his first major fiction. During the same period, he and Brooks drew
directly upon their classroom challenges to design and launch a
series of textbooks that gradually transformed the teaching of
poetry and fiction in American colleges and universities.
What any number of commentators have called Warren's "protean"
energy is in full evidence in these letters. The range and sheer
diversity of his correspondence, whether with old friends,
established literary figures, hopeful young writers, his beloved
wife Cinina, recalcitrant academic administrators, or sometimes
troublesome publishers, reveal an extraordinarily keen mind and
heightened imagination operating in concert with optimum
efficiency. Scrupulously edited and thoroughly annotated by William
Bedford Clark with an eye toward the needs of the lay reader as
well as the specialist, Warren's letters have the immediacy of
skillful autobiography.
