We Want to Do More Than Survive

Winner of the 2020 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award, this book draws on personal stories, research, and history to advocate for educational justice inspired by abolitionist principles. Bettina Love critically examines how the US educational system perpetuates racial violence and suffering, urging educators, parents, and communities to pursue radical change rather than superficial reform. She calls for a bold, imaginative approach rooted in activism and intersectional justice, offering an alternative vision for equitable education.
