This work lucidates bell hooks' social and educational theory, with emphasis on her 1994 book, Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom. Florence deals with the issues of marginality and cultural alienation that are so prevalent among certain groups within the American society and presents strategies to help develop critical consciousness and affirmation of formerly subordinated cultural traits and characteristics. Her study resonates with current themes raised by critical, feminist and multicultural scholars showing how marginalized groups may be guilty of reinforcing their own status through complicity with the dominant culture's world view, and how education can empower them to demand a more egalitarian society and one that recognizes cultural plurality.

Editorial Reviews
Review
?Florence's book will be an invaluable companion to the study of hook's theories....Both hooks' supporters and her detractors will find Namulundah Florence's painstaking reconstruction and transcultural application of hooks' theories to be an eye-opening, mind-challenging work....Bell hooks' Engaged Pedagogy proves itself, argument by argument, to be not only an invaluable companion to the study of hooks' writings, but an expansion of her theories that can take the worldwide academic community beyond the "divide and conquer" promulgation of divisive wholesale dismissal of hooks' troubling stances.?-The Griot: The Journal of Black Heritage
Book Description
Educational institutions, like the society in which they exist, may operate with racial, gender, and class biases that marginalize students whose cultural traits and characteristics differ from mainstream norms and practices. However, as bell hooks urges, education can provide the means to transgress conventional limitations and biases.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Informative & Comprehensive,
By Raquel B. (Mount Vernon, New York USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: bell hooks' Engaged Pedagogy: A Transgressive Education for Critical Consciousness (Critical Studies in Education and Culture Series) (Paperback)
No one book can cover all of bell hooks' work, but Florence made sense as she introduced and analysed hooks' work/theory behind education. Florence's work was clear and objective allowing the reader to form his or her opinion about pedagogy and hooks' view on teaching, race, and class in America.
