We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom

Do you believe that education should be a tool for liberation and justice? Do you want to empower students and communities to create sustainable change? Look no further than "We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom." This groundbreaking book, winner of the prestigious 2020 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award, will revolutionize the way you think about education.

In "We Want to Do More Than Survive," esteemed educator Bettina Love draws on personal stories, extensive research, and historical events to present a compelling vision of educational justice inspired by the rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists. Love argues that the current educational system in the US not only perpetuates racial violence and oppression but also profits from the suffering of children of color.

Unlike other educational reform approaches that offer mere survival tactics, such as test-taking skills and character education, Love calls for a complete dismantling of what she terms the "educational survival complex." She urges teachers, parents, and community leaders to embrace an abolitionist mindset and approach education with boldness, determination, and urgency.

By following in the footsteps of influential activists like Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin, and Fannie Lou Hamer, "We Want to Do More Than Survive" offers a transformative alternative to traditional educational reform. It challenges us to think beyond the confines of the classroom and to actively engage in intersectional justice and civic initiatives.
