We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom by Bettina Love
4.0
This book is PACKED with incredible information. I appreciated the blend of research, analysis, and personal anecdotes from Love. While I thought each chapter stood on it's own as perhaps a singular essay rather than a continuous book, chapters 5 & 6 were definitely the strongest and most impactful to me. This book opens so many pathways for further research and analysis on the part of the reader.
Seeing some of the lower reviews and critiques on this book, I think it's a good idea for the reader to pay attention to the synopsis on the back cover. This book does not claim to be solely a "how-to" manual. It has more of a "these are the reasons why you should."
Super strong points are made throughout the book and it's important for every educator and aspiring educator to learn from Love, and others who share her position.
