Ana-Maurine Lara and drea brown's Teaching Black is an invitation to a collaborative community gathering on the page, a calling forth of lineage, engagement, and conversation with Black literature and culture. A space of transformative witness for the skill, care, and love that Black educators bring into the classroom and the space that they create for their students to listen and honor the multiplicities of experience, thought, song, and form of Black literature.--Ching-In Chen, University of Washington
For those who know the perils of teaching Black literature while living Black, the essays assembled in Teaching Black are the balm in Gilead. With honesty, humility, and humor, these authors put their bodies on the line to reflect upon what it means to privilege Black texts--indeed Black life--in an anti-Black world. Every teacher should read this book.--E. Patrick Johnson, Northwestern University
