Liberation and Education brings together a collection of essays about Black educators' and organizations' quests to cultivate and employ educational strategies for the liberation of Black people. The contributions examine the enduring nature of Black people's thinking about education prior to and through enslavement to the present. It documents a variety of critical accounts of how Black people have developed ways to free themselves mentally from the legacies of slavery, the view of Black inferiority, and historical and systemic racism.
