Books have been cut from curricula and pulled from school library shelves. Teachers have been fired and threatened with discipline.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As long-time organizer, writer, and high school teacher Jesse Hagopian argues in \u003cem\u003eTeach Truth\u003c\/em\u003e, at stake is our democracy, not to mention the annihilation of entire systems of knowledge that challenge the status quo. As Hagopian shows by exploring the origins, philosophy, and manifestations of these attacks, the Right's effort to regulate knowledge is an attempt to maintain its power over the American capitalist system, now and into the future.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Yet the struggle for a liberatory education has a long history in the United States, from the days when it was illegal for Black people to be literate, to the Civil Rights and Black Power movements, to Black Lives Matter at School today. Teachers, students, and their allies are already building a movement - in the classroom, on campus, and in the streets - to defend antiracist education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jesse Hagopian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Haymarket Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 5.91w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888902516","brand":"Haymarket Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43256151801993,"sku":"9798888902516","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_39703d04-a73e-400f-a15b-8c083b9805e5.jpg?v=1736237776","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/teach-truth-the-struggle-for-antiracist-education-9798888902516","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
