Teaching Resistance: Radicals, Revolutionaries, and Cultural Subversives in the
Classroom [[link removed]]
Edited by John Mink
Teaching Resistance is a collection of the voices of activist educators from around
the world who engage inside and outside the classroom from pre-kindergarten to university
and emphasize teaching radical practice from the field. Written in accessible language,
this book is for anyone who wants to explore new ways to subvert educational systems
and institutions, collectively transform educational spaces, and empower students
and other teachers to fight for genuine change. Topics include community self-defense,
Black Lives Matter and critical race theory, intersections between punk/DIY subculture
and teaching, ESL, anarchist education, Palestinian resistance, trauma, working-class
education, prison teaching, the resurgence of (and resistance to) the Far Right,
special education, antifascist pedagogies, and more.
Edited by social studies teacher, author, and punk musician John Mink, the book
features expanded entries from the monthly column in the politically insurgent punk
magazine Maximum Rocknroll, plus new works and extensive interviews with subversive
educators. Contributing teachers include Michelle Cruz Gonzales, Dwayne Dixon, Martín
Sorrondeguy, Alice Bag, Miriam Klein Stahl, Ron Scapp, Kadijah Means, Mimi Nguyen,
Murad Tamini, Yvette Felarca, Jessica Mills, and others, all of whom are unified
against oppression and readily use their classrooms to fight for human liberation,
social justice, systemic change, and true equality.

Parenting without God: How to Raise Moral, Ethical, and Intelligent Children, Free
from Religious Dogma, Second Edition [[link removed]]
By Dan Arel
Foreword by Jessica Mills
Children inevitably turn to their parents for more than just food and security;
equally important are assurance, recognition, and interpretation of life. A child
develops best in an environment where creativity and discovery are unimpeded by
the artificial restrictions of blind faith and dogmatic belief. Parenting without
God is for parents, and future parents, who lack belief in a god and are seeking
guidance on raising freethinkers and social-justice-aware children in a nation
where public dialogue has been controlled by the Christian Right.
Dan Arel, activist and critically acclaimed author, has penned a magnificently practical
guide to help parents provide their children with the intellectual tools for standing
up to attempts at religious proselytism, whether by teachers, coaches, friends,
or other family members. Parenting without God is also for the parent activist who
is trying to make the world a better place for all children by first educating their
own children about racism, sexism, and all forms of discrimination that serve as
barriers to the fundamentals of human dignity and democracy. It's for parents who
wish for their children to question everything and to learn how to reach their own
conclusions based on verifiable evidence and reason. Above all, Arel makes the penetrating
argument that parents should lead by example-both by speaking candidly about the
importance of secularism and by living an openly and unabashedly secular life.
Parenting without God is written with humility, compassion, and understanding. Dan
Arel's writing conveys the unmistakable impression of a loving father dedicated
to redefining the role of parenthood so that it also includes the vitally important
task of nurturing every child's latent impulse for freedom and autonomy.
This second edition has been expanded with new material from the author.

Out of the Ruins: The Emergence of Radical Informal Learning Spaces [[link removed]]

Edited by Robert H. Haworth and John M. Elmore
Contemporary educational practices and policies across the world are heeding the
calls of Wall Street for more corporate control, privatization, and standardized
accountability. There are definite shifts and movements towards more capitalist
interventions of efficiency and an adherence to market fundamentalist values within
the sphere of public education. In many cases, educational policies are created
to uphold and serve particular social, political, and economic ends. Schools, in
a sense, have been tools to reproduce hierarchical, authoritarian, and hyper-individualistic
models of social order. From the industrial era to our recent expansion of the knowledge
economy, education has been at the forefront of manufacturing and exploiting particular
populations within our society.
The important news is that emancipatory educational practices are emerging. Many
are emanating outside the constraints of our dominant institutions and are influenced
by more participatory and collective actions. In many cases, these alternatives
have been undervalued or even excluded within the educational research. From an
international perspective, some of these radical informal learning spaces are seen
as a threat by many failed states and corporate entities.
Out of the Ruins sets out to explore and discuss the emergence of alternative learning
spaces that directly challenge the pairing of public education with particular dominant
capitalist and statist structures. The authors construct philosophical, political,
economic and social arguments that focus on radical informal learning as a way to
contest efforts to commodify and privatize our everyday educational experiences.
The major themes include the politics of learning in our formal settings, constructing
new theories on our informal practices, collective examples of how radical informal
learning practices and experiences operate, and how individuals and collectives
struggle to share these narratives within and outside of institutions.
Contributors include David Gabbard, Rhiannon Firth, Andrew Robinson, Farhang Rouhani,

Anarchism and Education: A Philosophical Perspective [[link removed]]
By Judith Suissa
While there have been historical accounts of the anarchist school movement, there
has been no systematic work on the philosophical underpinnings of anarchist educational
ideas--until now.
Anarchism and Education offers a philosophical account of the neglected tradition
of anarchist thought on education. Although few anarchist thinkers wrote systematically
on education, this analysis is based largely on a reconstruction of the educational
thought of anarchist thinkers gleaned from their various ethical, philosophical
and popular writings. Primarily drawing on the work of the nineteenth century anarchist
theorists such as Bakunin, Kropotkin and Proudhon, the book also covers twentieth
century anarchist thinkers such as Noam Chomsky, Paul Goodman, Daniel Guerin and
Colin Ward.
This original work will interest philosophers of education and educationalist thinkers
as well as those with a general interest in anarchism.

Anarchist Pedagogies: Collective Actions, Theories, and Critical Reflections on
Education [[link removed]]
Edited by Robert H. Haworth
Afterword by Allan Antliff
Education is a challenging subject for anarchists. Many are critical about working
within a state-run education system that is embedded in hierarchical, standardized,
and authoritarian structures. Numerous individuals and collectives envision the
creation of counterpublics or alternative educational sites as possible forms of
resistance, while other anarchists see themselves as "saboteurs" within the public
arena-believing that there is a need to contest dominant forms of power and educational
practices from multiple fronts. Of course, if anarchists agree that there are no
blueprints for education, the question remains, in what dynamic and creative ways
can we construct nonhierarchical, anti-authoritarian, mutual, and voluntary educational
spaces?
Contributors to this edited volume engage readers in important and challenging issues
in the area of anarchism and education. From Francisco Ferrer's modern schools in
Spain and the Work People's College in the United States, to contemporary actions
in developing "free skools" in the U.K. and Canada, to direct-action education such
as learning to work as a "street medic" in the protests against neoliberalism, the
contributors illustrate the importance of developing complex connections between
educational theories and collective actions. Anarchists, activists, and critical
educators should take these educational experiences seriously as they offer invaluable
examples for potential teaching and learning environments outside of authoritarian
and capitalist structures. Major themes in the volume include: learning from historical
anarchist experiments in education, ways that contemporary anarchists create dynamic
and situated learning spaces, and finally, critically reflecting on theoretical
frameworks and educational practices. Contributors include: David Gabbard, Jeffery
Shantz, Isabelle Fremeaux & John Jordan, Abraham P. DeLeon, Elsa Noterman, Andre
Pusey, Matthew Weinstein, Alex Khasnabish, and many others.
