Description

Education in Movement Spaces: Standing Rock to Chicago Freedom Square amplifies the distinct, intersecting, and coalitional possibilities of education in the spaces of ongoing movements for Native and Black liberation. Alayna Eagle Shield, a citizen of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe; Django Paris, Rae Paris and Timothy San Pedro have edited the work of contributors who highlight the importance of activist-oriented teaching and learning in community encampments and other movement spaces for the preservation and expansion of resistance education. With chapters from scholars, educators, and organizers, this volume offers lessons taken from these experiences for nation-state schools, classrooms, and spaces of teaching and learning that are most commonly experienced by Native and Black children and educators. Through attention to recent social movements across the United States-from Standing Rock to Black Lives Matter-this book demonstrates the vital connections between Native and Black communities' educational futures.
