A new book by Education, Culture & Society Associate Professor Karen A. Johnson
This book examines the lived experiences and work of African American women educators
during the 1880s to the 1960s. Specifically, this text portrays an array of Black
educators who used their social location as educators and activists to resist and
fight the interlocking structures of power, oppression, and privilege that existed
across the various educational institutions in the U.S. during this time. This book
seeks to explore these educators' thoughts and teaching practices in an attempt to
understand their unique vision of education for Black students and the implications
of their work for current educational reform.
