The Fugitive Life of Black Teaching: A History of Pedagogy and Power
African Americans developed a theory and practice of education during slavery, which Professor Givens has termed 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.
