Reviews

"A must-read for pedagogues and theorists alike. Gannon's explorations into history, power, and academia place students and the environments in which they learn front and center for the rest of us to consider. This work isn't about reform, but transformation, and Gannon's book pushes us in the right direction."
José Luis Vilson, author of This Is Not a Test: A New Narrative on Race, Class, and Education
"A full-throated defense of the humanities, a liberal education, and the power of education as a transformational force."​​​​​​​
Contingent Magazine
"In a time of precariously employed professors, crushing student debt burdens, and cynically manufactured campus outrages, Radical Hope is a much-needed practical and principled reminder of the promise and possibility of education for liberation."
Nikhil Pal Singh, author of Race and America's Long War and faculty director, NYU Prison Education Program

"This is the book I needed to read--it was a fresh drink of water in a time of turmoil and despair in education. Gannon grounds his calls for radical hope in the work of educational scholars like Freire, hooks, and Giroux, and offers helpful examples and recommendations based on his years of teaching experience. He tackles real issues we are facing at our institutions head-on without capitulating to clichés or trendy solutions often offered in books about higher education."
Amy Collier, Middlebury College
