“To get free means turning the lens on ourselves as readers, writers, thinkers, and social beings and examining all the ways in which we are not free, all the ways in which we are bound by what society tells us who we are, who others are, and who we are to each other. To get free means being identity-conscious, socially aware educators, guiding identity-conscious, socially aware readers and writers. To get free means engaging in active and expansive perspective-taking.
I hope that this book can serve as a starting point for readers to journey toward freedom so that we may serve all our students well.”
