"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." -- FeministBookstore 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
"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

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for the teacher in you
I so loved this short book and found the wisdom and insight hooks' shares invaluable. I will be a better teacher for having read this book. And I will read it again and again and quote it and reference for years to come. If you're interested in decolonization or abolitionist work, this is a must.
5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it
I’m teaching pedagogy and I’m having them read this -inspiring and a little confusing. But this ending was amazing. great book!
5.0 out of 5 stars inspiring
It’s a classic for a reason. Excellently written with clear and inspiring ideas. I even got the hard copy even though i have the ebook, because I need to read this again on paper.
5.0 out of 5 stars As described.
The book came quickly and wrapped in its original plastic, which means it's in primo condition. I bought it because Brene Brown wrote in her book "Atlas of the Heart" that "Teaching to Transgress" had made a deep impact on her teaching style. I've just started to read this book, but I can see why.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reading for Educators
Anyone interested in education should probably read this. hooks incorporates insights from her time as a student and her time as a teacher. She is one of the few writers I've encountered who seriously considers class (in addition to gender and race) in education and academia. If you worry that inclusive pedagogy shuts down or limits dialogue in the classroom, this book should help soothe you.I share the worry of certain critics here about needlessly complex language in academic work, but I really didn't see any of it in here.
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful expression of the joys in teaching to learn freely.
Beautiful expression of the joys in teaching to learn freely. We need to be self-actualized in order to help students find their journey to self-actualization. I don't see myself as being self-actualized. Can we ever reach that in one lifetime? But the fact that that journey is central to my life and that I express this to my students makes a difference. This book is so lovely. What a joy it would be to take a class from the author. Her writings here have affirmed my decisions these past years to open up the learnng experience.
4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent colletction of essays
I couldn't put this book down! The essays were very thought provoking and interesting. The only section I skipped was the one on Paulo Freire. It was a little too dry from the beginning. I feel that the only people who won't like this book are the ones who choose to judge hooks on her word choice and try to read her words with their own connotations rather than the way she intended. Yes, she uses terms like "white supremecist" a lot. If you take that in the way we tend to use it in common language, you would think she believes that white people knowingly have some sort of racist agenda against other people; to draw that conclusion, you have to assume that she's just another black person blaming white people for their situations. It is clear that hooks is not at all playing a blame game, but is instead just calling it how she sees it. You have to read the book in its entirety to grasp the points she's trying to make. I also really liked how she included little stories from her own personal experience. She also attempts to explain her theory with support from events in history. Overall, I thought it was a great book. The vocabulary wasn't extremely difficult, so it could really be read by anyone, yet the points are very difficult to understand if you come to this book with preconceived ideas of how black women think or believe that your own life experience is the only truth. I would recommend this book to ANY college student, anyone interested in education, and also people who enjoy thinking. Definitely not a book for someone who doesn't want to have to think as they read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Favorite Book of all time
Okay, so I'm biased and love everything bell hooks does, but this book is great. I bought it to read before I started graduate school for Teaching, and it helped me think more critically about many aspects of teaching. hooks' writing is also just very frank and a little sarcastic, and feels more like a conversation than a lecture. Love it!
Brilliant
Very simply, i think she is a brilliant mind with a fantastic heart and way of perceiving the world. I initially read her book 'Communion, the female search for love' and now that i am going into teaching was pleasantly surprised to find out she is also an educator and still teaches. I am now on a mission to read all of her books. Simply wonderful and insightful and a must read for people who are interested in pursuing change through education.
Bien mais durée d'expédition longue.
Bien, colis reçu bien emballé mais durée d'expédition longue.
Really good
Loved it! Bell Hooks writes reflections about teaching and the academic evironment. She bases a lot of her teaching reflections/practice on Paulo Freire, which I find a great approach. A lot of it is about teaching and feminism so if these topics don't interest you then maybe it's not for you.
