Combining critical thinking about education with autobiographical narratives, bell hooks invites readers to extend the discourse of race, gender, class and nationality beyond the classroom into everyday situations of learning. Teaching, she explains, can happen anywhere, any time - not just in college classrooms but in churches, in bookstores, in homes where people get together to share ideas that affect their daily lives. In ‘Teaching Community’ (follow up of ‘Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom’, 1994), hooks seeks to theorize from the place of the positive, looking at what works, showing how people can choose to end racism and create a beloved community. Spirit, struggle, service, love, the ideals of shared knowledge and shared learning - these values motivate progressive social change. hooks: "When teachers teach with love, combining care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect, and trust, we are often able to enter the classroom and go straight to the heart of the matter, which is knowing what to do on any given day to create the best climate for learning."
