Some time ago I read ‘Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom’ by bell hooks, and it had quite a profound effect on me. ‘Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope’ expands and builds up on the ideas introduced in the first book. Being a conceptual extension of ‘Teaching to Transgress’, ‘Teaching Community’ may not be equally new and revelatory, but it serves to solidify one’s understanding of bell hook’s approach to teaching, learning and dismantling systems of oppression. I recommend it to anyone who is willing to be part of a big change that starts with education and has the potential of making the world a much better place.
