Bell hooks, Carter G. Woodson, and African American education

Abstract

The following is a "conversation" between two of the most prominent and prolific African American scholars and intellectuals, bell hooks and Carter G. Woodson. Though their works were published more than 60 years apart, many of the issues Woodson addressed in his now-classic work, The Mis-education of the Negro, remain significant for African American intellectuals today. What is education? And what does is mean to truly "transgress" the boundaries of tradition?. © 2008 Sage Publications.
