Education in Movement Spaces: Standing Rock to Chicago Freedom Square / Edition 1

by Alayna Eagle Shield, Django Paris, Rae Paris, Timothy San Pedro

Overview

This book amplifies the distinct, intersecting, and coalitional possibilities of education in the spaces of ongoing movements for Native and Black liberation. Contributors highlight the importance of activist-oriented teaching and learning in community encampments and other movement spaces for the preservation and expansion of resistance education. With chapters from scholars, educators, and organizers, this volume offers lessons taken from these experiences for nation-state schools, classrooms, and spaces of teaching and learning that are most commonly experienced by Native and Black children and educators. Through attention to recent social movements across the United States--from Standing Rock to Black Lives Matter--this book demonstrates the vital connections between Native and Black communities' educational futures.
