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

We Want to Do More Than Survive is a powerful book by Bettina L. Love that challenges the traditional education system and advocates for abolitionist teaching. Love argues that education should not only focus on survival but also on liberation and freedom. Drawing on her experiences as an educator and activist, Love offers a radical vision for transforming schools into spaces that empower and uplift marginalized students. This book explores the intersections of race, class, and gender in education and provides practical strategies for creating inclusive and equitable classrooms. Love's work is a call to action for educators to dismantle oppressive systems and create a more just and equitable educational system.
