Teaching Resistance is a collection of the voices of activist
educators from around the world who engage inside and outside the
classroom from pre-kindergarten to university and emphasize teaching
radical practice from the field. Written in accessible language, this
book is for anyone who wants to explore new ways to subvert educational
systems and institutions, collectively transform educational spaces, and
empower students and other teachers to fight for genuine change. Topics
include community self-defense, Black Lives Matter and critical race
theory, intersections between punk/DIY subculture and teaching, ESL,
anarchist education, Palestinian resistance, trauma, working-class
education, prison teaching, the resurgence of (and resistance to) the
Far Right, special education, antifascist pedagogies, and more.
Edited by social studies teacher, author, and punk musician John Mink,
the book features expanded entries from the monthly column in the
politically insurgent punk magazine Maximum Rocknroll, plus new works
and extensive interviews with subversive educators. Contributing
teachers include Michelle Cruz Gonzales, Dwayne Dixon, Martín
Sorrondeguy, Alice Bag, Miriam Klein Stahl, Ron Scapp, Kadijah Means,
Mimi Nguyen, Murad Tamini, Yvette Felarca, Jessica Mills, and others,
all of whom are unified against oppression and readily use their
classrooms to fight for human liberation, social justice, systemic
change, and true equality.
