This book examines the lived experiences and work of African
American women educators during the 1880s to the 1960s.
Specifically, this text portrays an array of Black educators who
used their social location as educators and activists to resist and
fight the interlocking structures of power, oppression, and
privilege that existed across the various educational institutions
in the U.S. during this time. This book seeks to explore these
educators' thoughts and teaching practices in an attempt to
understand their unique vision of education for Black students and
the implications of their work for current educational reform.
Before the founding of the United States, enslaved Africans
advocated literacy as a method of emancipation. During the
Reconstruction period after the Civil War, blacks were at the
forefront of the debates on the establishment of public schools in
the South. In fact, a wealth of ideas about the role of education
in American freedom and progress emerged from African American
civic, political, and religious communities and was informed by the
complexity of the Black experience in America. Education as
Freedom: African American Educational Thought and Activism is a
groundbreaking edited text that documents and reexamines
African-American empirical, methodological, and theoretical
contributions to knowledge-making, teaching, and learning and
American education from the nineteenth through the twenty-first
century, the most dynamic period of African-American educational
thought and activism. African-American thought and activism
regarding education burgeoned from traditional academic
disciplines, such as philosophy and art, mathematics and the
natural sciences, and history and psychology; from the Black church
as well as from grassroot political, social, cultural, and
educational activism, with the desire to assess the stake of
African Americans in modernity.
