Educators, teacher practitioners, and social activists have
successfully used critical pedagogy as a tool to help marginalized
students develop awareness and seek alternative solutions to their
poor educational and socioeconomic situations. However, this theory
is often criticized as being mostly dominated by privileged white
males, bringing issues of race and gender to the forefront. This
volume provides insight on how critical pedagogy can be helpful to
scholars and teachers alike in their analysis of racial, gender,
linguistic and political problems. It features a wide range of
respected scholars who examine the way and the degree to which
critical pedagogy can be used to improve education for students of
color, women and other marginalized groups.

The Critical Black Studies Reader is a ground-breaking volume whose
aim is to criticalize and reenvision Black Studies through a
critical lens. The book not only stretches the boundaries of
knowledge and understanding of issues critical to the Black
experience, it creates a theoretical grounding that is
intersectional in its approach. Our notion of Black Studies is
neither singularly grounded in African American Studies nor on
traditional notions of the Black experience. Though situated work
in this field has historically grappled with the question of "where
are we?" in Black Studies, this volume offers the reader a type of
criticalization that has not occurred to this point. While the
volume includes seminal works by authors in the field, as a
critical endeavor, the editors have also included pieces that
address the political issues that intersect with - among others -
power, race, class, gender, sexuality, religion, place, and
economics.
School Sucks! is designed to complement the dominant discourse of
school reform by presenting a compendium of critical pedagogical
writings that analyze the current issues in urban education and
demonstrate alternative praxis for failing schools. The two editors
of this volume also serve as the series editors for Peter Lang
Publishing's Educational Psychology and Black Studies and Critical
Thinking series, giving them remarkable resources from which to
draw this selection of writings that represent the very best
concepts of pedagogy and praxis. School Sucks! furthers the
reader's knowledge of the pretext of urban educational problems and
promotes a positive praxis of urban educational reform. Inspired by
mentors Mary McLeod Bethune and Paulo Freire, School Sucks! employs
a critical pedagogy and praxis in calling for wholesale changes
within our urban schools.

Sista Talk: The Personal and the Pedagogical is an inquiry into the
questions of how Black women define their existence in a society
which devalues, dehumnizes, and silences their beliefs. Placing
herself inside of the research, Rochelle Brock invites the reader
on a journey of self-exploration, as she and seven of her Black
female students investigate their collective journey toward
self-awareness in the attempt to liberate their minds and souls
from ideological domination. Throughout, Sista Talk attempts to
understand the ways in which this self-exploration informs her
pedagogy. Combining Black feminist and Afrocentric Theory with
critical pedagogy, this book frames the parameters for an
Afrowomanist pedagogy of wholeness for teaching Black students.
In Sista Talk Too, Rochelle Brock brings meaningful new material
which evokes and updates her past examination of Black women in
today's culture. The first Sista Talk: The Personal and the

students and colleagues to help us survive and thrive in this
world...all in the spirit of love, life, and Oshun.
