In Teaching to Transgress, Bell Hooks --writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual--writes about a new kind of education, education as the practice of freedom. Teaching students to ""transgress"" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for Hooks, the teacher's most important goal.

Bell Hooks speaks to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do about teachers who do not want to teach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom?
