This book challenges us to think beyond the paradigm of race to also include the paradigm of gender when we discuss and think about reforming schools to provide better educational opportunities for Black students. This book made me think about all the ways that children’s’ lives are not in their own control and how that lack of control affects their education in ways that we in this profession deem inappropriate or label as a lack of desire or care about learning. I liked how this book explained these critical issues in a straightforward manner — allowing the reader to understand the critical nature of these problems in hindering Black girls from getting an education.
