"After reading Teaching to Transgress I am once again struck by bell hooks's never-ending, unquiet intellectual energy, an energy that makes her radical and loving." -- Paulo Freire

In Teaching to Transgress,bell hooks--writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual--writes about a new kind of education, education as the practice of freedom. Teaching students to "transgress" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for hooks, the teacher's most important goal.

bell hooks speaks to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do about teachers who do not want to teach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom?

Full of passion and politics, Teaching to Transgress combines a practical knowledge of the classroom with a deeply felt connection to the world of emotions and feelings. This is the rare book about teachers and students that dares to raise questions about eros and rage, grief and reconciliation, and the future of teaching itself.

"To educate is the practice of freedom," writes bell hooks, "is a way of teaching anyone can learn." Teaching to Transgress is therecord of one gifted teacher's struggle to make classrooms work.

    Beautiful expression of the joys in teaching to learn freely. We need to be self-actualized in order to help students find their journey to self-actualization. I don't see myself as being self-actualized. Can we ever reach that in one lifetime? But the fact that that journey is central to my life and that I express this to my students makes a difference. This book is so lovely. What a joy it would be to take a class from the author. Her writings here have affirmed my decisions these past years to open up the learnng experience.

    The book came quickly and wrapped in its original plastic, which means it's in primo condition. I bought it because Brene Brown wrote in her book "Atlas of the Heart" that "Teaching to Transgress" had made a deep impact on her teaching style. I've just started to read this book, but I can see why.

    I so loved this short book and found the wisdom and insight hooks' shares invaluable. I will be a better teacher for having read this book. And I will read it again and again and quote it and reference for years to come. If you're interested in decolonization or abolitionist work, this is a must.

    Okay, so I'm biased and love everything bell hooks does, but this book is great. I bought it to read before I started graduate school for Teaching, and it helped me think more critically about many aspects of teaching. hooks' writing is also just very frank and a little sarcastic, and feels more like a conversation than a lecture. Love it!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent colletction of essays
    Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2007
    Verified Purchase
    I couldn't put this book down! The essays were very thought provoking and interesting. The only section I skipped was the one on Paulo Freire. It was a little too dry from the beginning. I feel that the only people who won't like this book are the ones who choose to judge hooks on her word choice and try to read her words with their own connotations rather than the way she intended. Yes, she uses terms like "white supremecist" a lot. If you take that in the way we tend to use it in common language, you would think she believes that white people knowingly have some sort of racist agenda against other people; to draw that conclusion, you have to assume that she's just another black person blaming white people for their situations. It is clear that hooks is not at all playing a blame game, but is instead just calling it how she sees it. You have to read the book in its entirety to grasp the points she's trying to make. I also really liked how she included little stories from her own personal experience. She also attempts to explain her theory with support from events in history. Overall, I thought it was a great book. The vocabulary wasn't extremely difficult, so it could really be read by anyone, yet the points are very difficult to understand if you come to this book with preconceived ideas of how black women think or believe that your own life experience is the only truth. I would recommend this book to ANY college student, anyone interested in education, and also people who enjoy thinking. Definitely not a book for someone who doesn't want to have to think as they read.

    Loved it! Bell Hooks writes reflections about teaching and the academic evironment. She bases a lot of her teaching reflections/practice on Paulo Freire, which I find a great approach. A lot of it is about teaching and feminism so if these topics don't interest you then maybe it's not for you.

    It was in the first chapter that this book helped me to understand what I had felt was missing in my education as an undergraduate student; the pandemic robbed us of passionate teachers, it makes me question if self actualised people persist in challenging times — if they do, they are rare.
