In ‘Teaching Critical Thinking’, cultural critic and progressive educator bell hooks addresses some of the most compelling issues facing teachers today. In a series of short essays, hooks explores the confounding and sometimes controversial topics that teachers and students have urged her to address since the publication of the previous volumes ‘Teaching to Transgress’ and ‘Teaching Community’. The issues are varied and broad, from whether meaningful teaching can take place in a large classroom setting to confronting issues of self-esteem. Addressing questions of race, gender, and class in this work, hooks discusses the complex balance that allows us to teach, value, and learn from works written by racist and sexist authors. Highlighting the importance of reading, she insists on the primacy of free speech, a democratic education of literacy. Throughout these essays, she celebrates the transformative power of critical thinking.
