John Bouton’s Reviews > We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom > Status Update

Recommended on an NCTE webcast by Dr. Sonja Cherry-Paul, this book, by an educator, presents the imperative to tackle racism with the urgency of the abolitionists. As the author asserts, "This book is about mattering, surviving, resisting, thriving, healing, imagining, freedom, love, and joy: all elements of abolitionist work and teaching" (Love 2).
