Ebook About
Winner of the 2020 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book AwardDrawing on personal stories, research, and historical events, an esteemed educator offers a vision of educational justice inspired by the rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists.Drawing on her life’s work of teaching and researching in urban schools, Bettina Love persuasively argues that educators must teach students about racial violence, oppression, and how to make sustainable change in their communities through radical civic initiatives and movements. She argues that the US educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color. Instead of trying to repair a flawed system, educational reformers offer survival tactics in the forms of test-taking skills, acronyms, grit labs, and character education, which Love calls the educational survival complex.To dismantle the educational survival complex and to achieve educational freedom—not merely reform—teachers, parents, and community leaders must approach education with the imagination, determination, boldness, and urgency of an abolitionist. Following in the tradition of activists like Ella Baker, Bayard Rustin, and Fannie Lou Hamer, We Want to Do More Than Survive introduces an alternative to traditional modes of educational reform and expands our ideas of civic engagement and intersectional justice.

Book We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom Review :



I wanted to love Belinda Love's book. I wanted to read something akin to Michelle Alexander's "The New Jim Crow," a book that lays out evidence for systemic oppression and racism in ways that people can begin to understand the problem.I wanted something more like bell hooks's Teaching to Transgress, a book that would unpack critical pedagogy and critical race theory and offer teachers actionable recommendations. I wanted a book like Chris Emdin's "For White Folks who Teach in the Hood."This is not that book.Love uses her position as a professor at UGA as grounds for expertise to speak to race and the effects of discrimination on the American school system. But she offers almost no evidence to back up her statements (odd choice for an academic scholar); no follow-up readings; very few statistics. If you already agree with her points (and I do), you might find the personal stories valuable. But this book will never convince anyone to adopt her viewpoint if they aren't already in agreement.For a book by an academic claiming to address education inequality in America, this flaw renders the book nearly useless to anyone who's trying to expand the horizons of white folks.I don't mind the wandering, discursive path that the author uses to make her point, weaving in personal story and quotes from other authors amidst her "main points." I even agree with her main points. But at best, this book is simply "preaching to the choir."Unlike the white-hot rage of Ta-Nehisi Coats's "Between the World and Me" which wrecked me and really opened my heart to the need for white people to ally with Blacks in a fight against incipient and open racism, Dr. Love's anger burns with little of Coats's eloquence and none of the value of his subsequent essays exploring pathways toward healing, correction, and reparations.I did appreciate her emphasis on joy as part of resistance. This theme emerged late in the book. I stuck it out only because I was reading for a book club. I wished she'd developed this as the entire point of the book.There is a place in print for rage and for personal memoirs and opinions. I'm not saying Love doesn't have a right to say her mind -- she does -- and if the book were billed more as personal reflections of a Black educator rather than a treatise on how to teach toward educational freedom and abolition, I wouldn't have minded. As it stands, this is one of the worst book purchases I've made in the past few years, and I will be donating it immediately.
I don't understand how this book won any awards. The writung is not good and the author doesn't make her intended point. No concrete information on improving the system. Saying that you can't expect black children to sit in a classroom and learn does not create a new model for education. One example of her logic "White people are wearing "White Vision Glasses". Teacher spirit-murder children every day through these glasses because their vision is impaired by hate, racism and White Supremacy." She goes way beyond education also. She is all over the place with her outrage and demands. "I mean White folx ensuring that people of color are being paid equally or more than their White peers." "Silencing your White voice so dark folx' voices can be heard." She demands that employers hire equal numbers of black women as white women, while stating that black people make up 14% of the population. Her example of dis-proportionality in hiring is "White women held a majority of managerial jobs (57,250) compared with African Americans (10,500)" According to my calculations those numbers show that 18% were black, while they make up 14% of the populations. This does not show that white women have benefited more. So her demand is not proportional. She seems quite racist to me. Her book constantly mentions 'White Rage', something that ALL white people are full of. I totally understand that systemic racism exists. That People of color must constantly prove themselves and that more needs to be done to achieve equality. But this book really produced far more negative feelings than positive. She did not present any sort of path to improving educational success for black students. That is, beyond demanding that all teachers be black.
