Description: A Vital Collection that Brings Together Key Texts from Literary Ancestors and Contemporary Writers
Review Quotes: For those who know the perils of teaching Black literature while living Black, the essays assembled in Teaching Black are the balm in Gilead. With honesty, humility, and humor, these authors put their bodies on the line to reflect upon what it means to privilege Black texts--indeed Black life--in an anti-Black world. Every teacher should read this book.--E. Patrick Johnson, Northwestern University
