Summary
These essays face squarely the problems of teachers who do not want to teach, and of students who do not want to learn, of racism and sexism in the classroom, and of the gift of freedom that is, for Hooks, the teacher’s most important goal. Raising many concerns central to the field of critical pedagogy, Hooks connects them to feminist thought, an area that continues to be underrepresented in work on teaching. At the same time, she also reshapes feminist thinking, bringing to it a vigorous engagement with race and class.

Critics Review
“After reading Teaching to Transgress I am once again struck by bell hooks’s never-ending, unquiet intellectual energy, an energy that makes her radical and loving.” – Paulo Freire “Passionately defines the Black feminist point of view that needs to be reflected upon in classroom discussions.” – Contemporary Education “Teaching to Transgress by bell hooks is a book that I not only love, but assign every semester to my Introduction to Women’s Studies class. It is one of the best descriptions of the purpose and function of education and the educator that I’ve ever read. And students love it. So if you know any professors or students who aren’t familiar with it, recommend it highly.” – Feminist Bookstore News “Teaching to Transgress is useful as a platform for a critique of current notions and practices of teaching and learning.” – Canadian Home Economics Journal
