Notes From Your Bookseller

In a powerful follow-up to her influential We Want To Do More Than Survive, Dr. Bettina L. Love shows education — whether you have children or not, are an educator or not — as integral to social justice and true democracy. Urgent and stirring, Punished For Dreaming is a book deeply in conversation with The New Jim Crow, Caste, and Poverty By America.
