\nThe Fugitive Life of Black Teaching: A History of Pedagogy and Power<\/strong>
\nDr. Jarvis R. Givens of the Harvard Graduate School of Education has termed the theory and practice of education during slavery as fugitive pedagogy. Using the life of famed educator Carter G. Woodson, Givens explores how black teachers sustained this tradition, often covertly, through the Jim Crow era. He identifies the significance of fugitive pedagogy to the long black freedom movement and its lessons for our contemporary moment.
