The Power and Freedom of Black Feminist and Womanist Pedagogy: Still Woke celebrates and reaffirms the power of Black feminist and womanist pedagogies and practices in university classrooms. Employing autocritography (through personal reflection, research, and critical analysis), the contributors to the volume boldly tell groundbreaking stories of their teaching experiences and their evolving relationships to Black feminist and womanist theory and criticism. From their own unique perspectives, each contributor views teaching as a life-changing collaborative and interactive endeavor with students. Moreover, each of them envisions their pedagogical practice as a strategic vehicle to transport the legacy of struggles for liberating, social justice and transformative change in the U.S. and globally. Firmly grounded in Black feminist and womanist theory and practice, this book honors the herstorical labor of Black women and women of color intellectual activists who have unapologetically held up the banner of freedom in academia.

Reviews for The Power and Freedom of Black Feminist and Womanist Pedagogy: Still Woke

"Still Woke--inspired by the pedagogical praxis and feminist/womanist theorizing of bell hooks--is a provocative, candid, inspirational, robust, exploration of what it means to craft transformative, transgressive classrooms. A diverse group of radical professors share, unapologetically, their own personal journeys and teaching strategies within a variety of academic contexts. This pioneering anthology bears witness to the unique struggles of committed feminist/womanist classroom warriors in their quest for survival, social justice and freedom. --Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Anna Julia Cooper Professor of Women's Studies at Spelman College The impressive range of scholar-teachers who comprise The Power and Freedom of Black Feminist and Womanist Pedagogy are serving black feminist and womanist activist pedagogy with grit, vulnerability, passion, and insight. To invoke Toni Morrison's eloquent words, The Power and Freedom of Black Feminist and Womanist Pedagogy is not a set of stories ""to pass on."" --David Ikard, Vanderbilt University"
