Synopsis

Education as Freedom 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, a dynamic period of African-American educational thought and activism. Education as Freedom is a long awaited text that historicizes the current racial achievement gap as well as illuminates the myriad of African American voices and actions to define the purpose of education and to push the limits of the democratic experiment in the United States.

Media Reviews
For African Americans, education has historically been a double-edged sword: it has been used both as a source of oppression and of liberation. In Education as Freedom, Anderson and Kharem lay out a set of strategies and a framework that can be used by educators, scholars, and activists to utilize education as the foundation for the freedom struggle in the twenty first century and beyond. This book is an insightful and inspiring resource. -- Pedro A. Noguera Ph.D, distinguished professor of education UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies
