"At long last, we have a book that both shows and tells how to
teach students to produce not only 'pretty words and adept
dialogue' but 'searing analysis.' This profound work of
emancipatory pedagogy brings together theory, classroom practice,
personal narrative and student work... a must-read for every
teacher seeking to reach students." -- Geneva Smitherman

critical thinking, not only for students, but for teachers as well.
