In each case, those solutions scapegoat teachers, vilify our unions, and promise more private control and market mentality as the answer. In each case, students lose—especially students of color and the children of the working class and the poor. This book, written by teacher activists, speaks back to that elite consensus. It draws on the ideas and experiences of social justice educators concerned with fighting against racism and for equality, and those of activists oriented on recapturing the radical roots of the labor movement. Informed by a revolutionary vision of pedagogy, schools, and education, it paints a radical critique of education in Corporate America, past and present, and contributes to a vision of alternatives for education and liberation. Inside are essays that trace Marxist theories of education under capitalism; outline the historical educational experiences of emergent bilingual and African American students; recap the history of teachers’ unions; analyze the neoliberal attack on public schools under Obama; critically appraise Paolo Freire’s legacy; and make the historical link between social revolution and struggles for literacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout the Editors\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJeff Bale is assistant professor of second language education at Michigan State University.

It is informed by the author’s experience of writing a memoir about his involvement in the London underground scene of the 1960s, the London street commune movement, and the occupation of 144 Piccadilly, an event that hit the world’s headlines for ten days in July 1969.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a brief introduction that sets the contemporary scene of ‘archive fever,’ the book considers what the political legacy of 1960s counter culture reveals about the process of commemoration. The argument then opens out to discuss the notion of historical legacy and its role in the ‘dialectic of generations’. How far can the archive serve as a platform for dialogue and debate between different generations of activists in a culture that fetishises the evanescent present, practices a profound amnesia about its past, and forecloses the sociological imagination of an alternative future? The following section looks at the emergence of a complex apparatus of public fame and celebrity around the spectacle of dissidence and considers whether the Left has subverted or merely mirrored the dominant forms of reputation-making and public recognition. Can the Left establish its own autonomous model of commemoration?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe final section takes up the challenge of outlining a model for the democratic archive as a revisionary project, creating a resource for building collective capacity to sustain struggles of long duration.

The articles in this issue were written both before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the reader will surely notice the shadow of this global event in all of the work. However, we hope that there is some hope to be found in these pieces, and also in the events of the last 14-plus months since we spoke, dear reader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt seems as though with every issue released, we list off the advances of imperialism and fascism in the prior months, peppering in small victories where we can find them. The events of 2020 have so often been described as “unprecedented” that it feels, at a minimum, trite to do so here, and perhaps even misleading. Reflecting on the events outlined in the introduction of previous issues, it becomes not only impossible to separate the course of 2020 from other years but politically untenable to do so. While many of us could not have anticipated the emergence of this virus, we can trace its horrific and unequal effects in the events of past years, both on Turtle Island and across the globe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRising inequality brought on by the privatization and destruction of health care, and the assault on unions and tenants’ movements have brought the full weight of the pandemic down upon workers who cannot afford even a single sick day without losing income, facing eviction, and falling into the cracks of a crumbling, underfunded healthcare system. The worsening refugee crises in Syria and Yemen and the continuing sale of arms from Canada have kept the government and arms industry afloat, while citizens have been cut loose to fend for themselves. The proliferation of violent right-wing nationalisms all over the world has fomented coup attempts, led to attacks on anti-racist protesters in the streets, and created an atmosphere of abject terror. This is, of course, a small list of the many acute and chronic atrocities we watched unfold at the same time as a global plague.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStill, the past 12 months have been full of revolutionary anger too. The year 2020 began in Canada with nationwide rail blockades in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en, and Indigenous struggles from coast to coast. During the early months of the pandemic, we co-presented a webinar with Briarpatch Magazine titled “Policing, Direct Action, and Infiltration: Ten Years since the G20,” featuring Aruna Boodram, Mandy Hiscocks, Syed Hussan, and Irina Ceric. Our aim was to share our stories from this momentous protest and to connect the lessons from 2010 to today. As the pandemic spread into our neighbourhoods, communities sprung up around newly-formed mutual-aid networks, and many for the first time imagined a caring future outside of the state. In the summer months, we saw enormous rallies nearly every week, condemning police violence and anti-Black racism. The idea of abolition became a real political possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile it is sometimes difficult to imagine a different future when we are so firmly in a bleak present, this last year has shown us that the spirit of the people will not be broken.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis issue focuses on the forms of organizing, uprising, and solidarity that, we hope, will get us to a future free from global and local class inequalities, land theft and imperialism, climate crisis, and the violence of racism. We are especially proud of the international scope of this content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLesley Wood begins our letters section with a response to our roundtable on the 20th anniversary of the anti-WTO protests in Seattle. Lesley admits that there is a loss of certainty and strategy compared to the movements of 20 years ago, but urges us not to despair, and reminds us how generations of movement leaders emerge in cycles. Renée Nadeau reflects on our Issue 21 article “The Ground Beneath Our Feet,” taking well-warranted issue with movements that aim to “reclaim the commons,” but without an explicit anti-racist and decolonial lens. Lastly, Samantha Ponting responds to “Mining Makes This World Possible,” discussing experiences in Nicaragua, and how it is possible to ban mining.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our editorial, we take up the notion of mutual aid in relation to both revolutionary and emancipatory projects, as well as the neoliberal state that is all too happy to abrogate its responsibilities to people and communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn “Chile’s Social Explosion,” Pamela Arancibia interviews Emilio Dabed and Pablo Vivanco about the recent Chilean uprisings. This discussion offers a historical context for the uprisings by tracing Chile’s labour history, social movements, and political economy to shed light on how this South American country continues to shake the world in its struggle against neoliberalism and state violence. We recently co-hosted a follow-up event with the interview participants titled “Palestine Through Chilean Eyes,” for Israeli Apartheid Week 2021, organized by Students Against Israeli Apartheid at the University of Toronto. In “Fighting to Teach,” Ryan Hayes and Mariful Alam interview Sarah Vance, co-chair of the Toronto District Communications and Political Action Committee, rank-and-file member of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers’ Federation (OSSTF) and teacher with the Toronto District School Board. Vance discusses Ontario Education Workers United, the fraught atmosphere in OSSTF concerning recent (and not so recent) strikes, and the importance of pushing union leadership to engage in more radical anti-racist work. Lastly, Alejandro Franco Briones interviews Yásnaya Elena A. Gil, an Ayuujk researcher who carries out her activism in defence of the ancestral territory and her community of origin San Pedro y San Pablo Ayutla, located in the state of Oaxaca in southwestern Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe are also excited to publish a comic in this issue. “Iconoclasm”—a collaboration between Seth Tobocman and Maxine Allison Vande Vaarst—is the first of a series of comic strips that lay out struggles to topple racist Confederate monuments in the American South.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the article “Activism in Dark Times,” Adrien Beauduin and Sara Swerdlyk discuss organizing in Hungary against Orbán’s fascist crack-down on trade unions and migrant rights, as well as on universities that take up these issues. Adrien and Sara address these struggles in a discussion with five activists from Budapest active in Hungarian student movements’ anti-fascist organizing, and also discuss electoral coalition tactics that can only be described as “Faustian.” In “Socialism from the Grassroots,” author Ian Liujia Tian outlines how a new critical socialism is developing in China. Tian re-appropriates “socialism” from the hegemonic and centralized state back to the everyday struggles of workers and communities. We are also proud to include an in-depth article by S. Awâsis on Indigenous anarchism. In this piece, Awâsis explores the existence and possibilities of anarchism within Indigenous political thought and practice, and also offers a rich overview of Indigenous resistance and uprisings in Canada and all over the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn our first of three roundtables, “British Columbia Fights Back,” Melissa Moroz, Gene McGuckin, Shane Calder, and Bob Wilson sit down with Sharmeen Khan to discuss their reflections on organizing toward a provincial-wide general strike in the early 2000s. In “Global Uprisings and The Left’s Response,” Edward Hon-Sing Wong, Sardar Saadi, and Niloofar Golkar discuss social movements in Hong Kong, Kurdistan, and Iran. They explore the ongoing and urgent need for leftists in the West to accept the challenge of cross-border anti-imperialist solidarity and to align themselves with left struggles outside of the West. Finally, we feature a roundtable with youth organizers from Climate Justice Toronto. Interviewed by Kate Atkinson, this roundtable documents the struggles, politics, and tactics of younger activists including their perspectives on solidarity and their personal journeys as new movement builders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs always, we end our issue with a reviews section. Stuart Schussler reviews Shoshana Zuboff’s The Age of Surveillance Capitalism and discusses how the book documents the reach of big tech companies, but stops short of a further critique of the capitalist engine that drives monetization in tech. Adam Rudder reviews Until We Are Free, edited by Rodney Diverlus, Sandy Hudson, and Syrus Marcus Ware. Rudder discusses how the collection of writings serves to “complicate Black identity itself,” and other personal reflections on reading the work. Finally, Neil Braganza reviews David McNally’s Blood and Money. Placing Blood and Money in the context of George Floyd’s recent murder, Braganza helps us understand the contemporary consequences of money’s bloody history, which McNally traces from ancient Greece through to the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe hope that in these dark and confusing times, there is some hope to be gained from the insightful pieces we have published here. Our deep gratitude goes out to all our contributors and participants for their revolutionary insights into our joint struggles and their theorization and analyses of movement history and organizing. This issue, like all issues of Upping the Anti, would not have been possible without the advisory board, whose direction guided the diverse range of work in this journal. The editorial board is excited to welcome Nisha Eswaran and Andrew Peters as new members. We would also like to thank those who have helped us copy-edit, this time remotely!

Instead of heeding the people’s demands, his cabal of incompetent and cold-blooded officials (mostly retired generals) took the dreadful state of affairs as an opportunity to consolidate power, plunder resources, and reign with impunity—characteristic of bureaucrat capitalism, that serves the interests of landlords, compradors, and imperialists. In response, the artwork alludes to gruesome deaths and their heavy consequences depicted in feudal nether regions of dark fantasy series and games, which compete with the Duterte regime’s criminal negligence and fascist reaction versus the ongoing health crisis, the health workers, and the Filipino people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eINTRODUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRESISTING THE SECOND COMING OF THE MARCOS DICTATORSHIP\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Philippines appears to be in a state of never-ending crisis. From COVID-19 to Marcos Jr., our country is not lacking in viruses that affect the lives of millions of people. As of writing, the COVID-19 pandemic has infected 3,688,941 Filipinos and killed 60,455 people (Reuters, 2022). The government’s inept and militaristic response led to thousands of new COVID cases, with rates reaching as high as 21,819 new infections a day at the peak of the pandemic in January 2022 (Magsambol, 2022), even amidst the vaccine roll-out. Instead of mass testing and efficient contact tracing, we experienced brutal and ill-prepared lockdowns whose primary effect was preventing the working class from securing an income. Instead of health experts and doctors leading the COVID-19 response, we had generals and military men leading the pandemic task force. Instead of strengthening our healthcare infrastructure, we watched in horror the extent of corruption when the Senate probed billions of pesos in ghost deliveries by Pharmally Pharmaceutical Corp (Romero, 2021). Jeepney drivers begged on the street for lack of livelihood and government support (Luna, 2021). Medical frontliners like Honeyleen Casumpang, a nurse from Negros Occidental, died buried in debt after being infected by COVID-19 twice (Espina-Varona, 2021). Healthcare workers receive a pittance, while Duterte’s response to nurses asking for higher pay was to encourage them to enlist in the Philippine National Police (Esguerra, 2020). Instead of being treated as a healthcare crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic was used as another means to clamp down on dissent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the majority of Filipinos trapped in their homes because of brutal lockdowns, the Duterte administration launched a series of attacks on freedom and democracy. It compelled its allies in Congress to deny ABS-CBN a franchise to operate, causing thousands to lose their jobs and repressing another critical voice of integrity in a substantially eroded public sphere (Madarang, 2022). It railroaded the passage of the Anti-Terror Law, emboldening state forces to continue targeting government critics and opposition figures (Amnesty International, 2020). It facilitated the removal of allegedly “subversive” books from the libraries of state universities and colleges in an offensive attack against academic freedom (de Vera, 2021).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven with the Duterte administration’s total failure at handling the pandemic, Sara Duterte and her running mate, the late dictator’s son Ferdinand Marcos Jr., won as Vice-President and President in the 2022 elections. It was a bitter victory, borne of an elaborate and well-funded machinery of disinformation and outright lies, voter suppression and intimidation, and the decades-long failure of our nation to hold the Marcoses to account. Scroll through social media platforms like Facebook or TikTok and one enters another world, where the most outlandish lies are treated as infallible truths to justify the return of the Marcoses to Malacañang. There, Ferdinand Marcos Sr. is the proud recipient of gold from the Tallano royal family. Bongbong was prophesied by Nostradamus to lead the Philippines to a new golden age. And that President Cory Aquino secretly masterminded the assassination of her husband. One’s first reaction is to weep at the magnitude of deception and nonsense. Thirty-years of neoliberal education has failed to provide Filipinos with basic critical faculties but prioritized instead the production of submissive workers for export. The international market demands workers who do not question orders or the drastically unequal economic system which depends on their labor, and the Filipino educational system is more than happy to produce graduates who fit that criteria. This has also led to the gutting of courses which do not immediately fulfill the needs of global capitalism, such as Filipino and history. With the election of Marcos Jr., educators face an unprecedented challenge to protect the teaching of history and defend it from Marcosian attempts to erase the crimes of Martial Law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe May 9, 2022 elections have enough irregularities to question the integrity of the results. There was rampant vote-buying, red- tagging, the presence of 1,800 malfunctioning vote-counting machines (Kontra Daya, 2022), intimidation from police and military forces, and well-documented cases of violence and killings (dela Peña, 2022). If we were a country like Venezuela or Bolivia, the United States would have already organized a coup d’etat and Western media would be running stories 24\/7 about the beleaguered Filipino people. But because we’re the Third World ally of both American and Chinese imperialist powers, we experience nothing but congratulations from global superpowers for our “free and fair elections.” Truth and human rights are secondary to maintaining the hegemony of global capital and the cheap labor upon which it rests on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe articles in this issue of PINGKIAN confront the twin catastrophes of the pandemic and the resurgence of a Marcosian fascism in the Philippines. During such times of intensity, one might ask: what is the purpose of academic work? Of research? Are we writing while the world around us crumbles? One is tempted to cite the perennially quoted Bertolt Brecht (2019) poem: “In the dark times\/ Will there be singing?\/ There will be singing.\/ Of the dark times” (p. 660). The lines provide us with alternative lens of understanding the world, and ways forward from the seemingly inescapable doom-and-gloom. In their essays, Caroline Hau and Neferti X. M. Tadiar compel us to reevaluate the value of reading, libraries, while Edel Garcellano teaches us to resist, at a time when state forces are hellbent on stamping out modes of knowledge deemed too radical or subversive. There are essays on E. San Juan Jr., the disinformation and propaganda network of the Marcoses, a critical perspective on the cholera pandemic of 1903, deeply humane poems on the deeply inhumane series of lockdowns. They’re not songs about dark times, but offerings of thought and scholarship, new perspectives on old problems because prevailing perspectives appear to have damned us to even worse problems than before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe editors would like to thank the academics, independent scholars, and researchers for contributing to this issue of PINGKIAN. We thank readers for their continued patronage of this journal. And we hope that Pingkian will be part of our political education, and that while we continue singing and writing about dark times, we also continue organizing and mobilizing against the terror.

What renders this mapping an impressive act of counter-cartography is how Reed accomplishes this through lecture notes, syllabi, student newsletters, poems, interviews, and communiqués, rather than the history publicized by those in power.

Not only did she travel all over the New York area to speak to a wide range of audiences; she also went to Mississippi to research voting rights and land reform with activist Fannie Lou Hamer and writer Alice Walker, and visited Rome as the winner of the Prix de Rome in environmental design. Jordan also wrote a young adult novel in Black vernacular English, \u003cem\u003eHis Own Where\u003c\/em\u003e, and published \u003cem\u003esoulscript\u003c\/em\u003e, a collection of African American poetry featuring the work of some of her students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eJordan’s innovative public writings made specific demands on anti-poverty legislation, neighborhood safety, language apartheid in schooling, the limits of respectability politics, and beyond. Together with her colleagues and students, she worked to convey the possibilities of opening up Life Studies to entire cities. The SEEK practice of publishing popular anthologies of poetry and prose—featuring CUNY faculty and student writing—allowed people to access their work nationwide in a democratizing exchange of educational resources.This Black feminist effort to slowly decolonize the publishing industry’s materials was a complex process that sometimes also saw the elision of class distinctions across lines of race and gender, causing some writers who didn’t fit the new paradigms to fall through the cracks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eMeanwhile, the struggle in CUNY to maintain Open Admissions and establish a form of community control that could account for Bambara’s “Black University,” Henderson’s “Black City,” and Jordan’s “Life Studies” intensified and continued, despite considerable backlash. From 1970 onwards, conservative CUNY faculty and mainstream media crafted a racist elitist discourse on “The Death of the University”—in which Open Admissions allegedly only benefited poor Black and Puerto Rican students, and thus CUNY’s standards were in a downward spiral—which detracted attention away from the deep retrenchment of fewer resources for larger classes. As Jordan understood from her housing advocacy days, the long-practiced urban policy of maintaining overcrowded and under-resourced slums in the Bronx, Harlem, Lower East Side, and other impoverished areas became a model for forcibly overcrowding and underfunding CUNY after Open Admissions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eOn a daily interpersonal level, the impact of these policies exhausted teachers, students, and staff at City College, even as they became nationally recognized as a site of transformative admissions and writing pedagogies. Nevertheless, these colleagues tenderly looked after each other, their families, and their related creative projects. For example, after receiving Audre Lorde’s 1971 poem “Dear Toni Instead of a Letter of Congratulations Upon Your Book and Your Daughter Whom You Are Raising To Be A Correct Little Sister” which recounts their time at City College together, Bambara’s response still beams from the archives. She writes,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003etryin to think of a really balanced way to say thank you for the stunning poem… I mean stunning. So just wow, Audre, it’s a fantastic poem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eAnd in a November 1973 letter from Jordan to Lorde, after reading her friend’s poem “Movement Song,” she writes,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eI have to report that I am spending these days... in the cleaning of my house, and myself, I guess; trying to get ready for winter—a rotten winter like the one last year, when I ran out of everything— food, health—but this time I figure I'd better get the novel written—hell or high water, and then move on. So I am mostly calm, during the day. And gesturing closer and closer to my real work. Maybe god has intervened—to stop all this \"teaching\" stuff and \"travelling\" stuff so I can\/must concentrate on the dream unwritten still, and still a longing for the people of my heart. You keep well, please, and keep in touch, and keep the poem alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eAfter a few years of teaching stints at Connecticut College, Sarah Lawrence College, and Yale University, Jordan returned to City College in 1975. At this moment, university austerity measures became a national issue by the end of the war in Vietnam and the imposition of domestic structural readjustment that, in New York City, took on the form of a fiscal crisis that demanded an end to free higher education via the imposition of tuition for all CUNY students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eIn a May 5, 1976, City University of New York board hearing to impose universal tuition for the first time in its 129-year history, Jordan expressed outrage as one of thirteen City College professors on hunger strike to demand that CUNY remain free. Applying her arguments from a decade earlier in “Brief History of the Lower East Side” and “The Determining Slum,” she lauds CUNY’s historic access to poor European immigrant students, but notes that once Black and Puerto Rican students began to enter the university in larger numbers, free education was suddenly imperiled. Jordan frames the imposition of tuition in the terms of survival, in which, implicitly, Life Studies is endangered. She warns that ending free tuition and, therefore, truly Open Admissions would bear grave consequences for the city.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eWe cannot accept the death of this great, free University because we cannot accept the death of the spirit, the death of aspirations, the death of the future, that will surely follow for our children, the students… We will fast. We will take a cut in salary. We will fight. The possibility that we may lose is not a possibility: we have to win… We speak on behalf of our children, and our students; we call upon all of the people of the City of New York to join with us on behalf of all the children and all of the students of the City of New York, to resist this death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eA wildcat strike committee formed within Jordan’s union, the Professional Staff Congress (PSC), urging workers to reject tuition costs alongside an austerity job contract that the PSC leadership argued was the best it could do. As these union organizers feared, the Fall 1976 tuition policy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003ecoincided with almost 5,000 layoffs of faculty and staff (many of whom had helped to usher in Open Admissions, including all adjuncts), the erasure of recently won ethnic studies classes, and threats to close new CUNY colleges like Hostos and Medgar Evers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"white-space: pre-wrap;\" class=\"\"\u003eJordan herself would be laid off from City College for one semester, and then return for a final year to mentor and teach poetry to future luminous writers like Sekou Sundiata. Even in this tumultuous period, Jordan nurtured living room with her students to create “useful, that is, the usable, criticism of poems” towards communal goals of creative expression. In contrast, these aggressive economic structural readjustments would pave the way for a significant reversal of 1960s-70s social movements’ aspirations. The subsequent “retrenchment period” at CUNY resulted in massive city and state budget cuts, skyrocketing tuition fees, and expanded adjunct faculty ratios whose exploitation was enshrined by multiple PSC-CUNY contract agreements. CUNY and New York City suffered economic shock therapy that would soon bend the nation’s cities and colleges towards privatization and sharpened inequalities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Common Notions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41023319212125,"sku":"9781942173687","price":30.8,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/0826\/1213\/files\/newyorkliberationschool9781942173687_FC.jpg?v=1682889935"},{"product_id":"faire-mouvement-les-quarante-ans-du-mouvement-d-education-populaire-et-d-action-communautaire-du-quebec","title":"Faire mouvement: Les quarante ans du Mouvement d’éducation populaire et d’action communautaire du Québec","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"main__presentation-book\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIssu du bouillonnement contestataire des années 1970, le Mouvement d’éducation populaire et d’action communautaire du Québec (MÉPACQ) a exercé une influence certaine sur l’évolution du mouvement communautaire autonome ainsi que sur la dynamique des luttes sociales au Québec.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePionnier à maints égards, le MEPACQ a été le premier regroupement national multisectoriel et le premier à déployer des assises régionales.

Du Bois knew that the liberation of African Americans required liberal education and not vocational training. He saw education as a process of teaching certain timeless values: moderation, an avoidance of luxury, a concern for courtesy, a capacity to endure, a nurturing love for beauty. At the same time, Du Bois saw education as fundamentally subversive. This was as much a function of the well-established role of education—from Plato forward—as the realities of the social order under which he lived. He insistently calls for great energy and initiative; for African Americans controlling their own lives and for continued experimentation and innovation, while keeping education’s fundamentally radical nature in view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaken together, these ten essays cover half a century during which the social, political, and technological transformations were unparalleled by any in recorded history. And while Du Bois reflects these changes, certain constants persist: a demand for excellence, sacrifice, and a life of service; and an insistence that while such a life will bring hardships and temptations, it will also bring fulfillment. In Du Bois’s view, only with such a life will one truly live. In this affirmation, there runs a particular feeling that the history of African Americans has profoundly influenced their ideas about service, of compassion, of justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough containing speeches written nearly one-hundred years ago, and on a subject that has seen more stormy debate and demagoguery than almost any other in recent history, \u003cem\u003eThe Education of Black People\u003c\/em\u003e approaches education with a timelessness and timeliness, at once rooted in classical thought that reflects a remarkably fresh and contemporary relevance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNew Foreword by Herbert Aptheker\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePart One\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Hampton Idea (1906)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGalileo Galilei (1908)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe College-Bred Community (1910)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiuturni Silenti (1924)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEducation and Work (1930)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Field and Function of the Negro College (1933)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Revelation of Saint Orgne the Damned (1938)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePart Two\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEditor’s Note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Future of the Negro State University (1941)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Future and Function of the Private Negro College (1946)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhither Now and Why (1960)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNotes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBibliography\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIndex\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"authorbiopoetry\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"authorbioname\"\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"authorbiopoetry\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"authorbioname\"\u003eW.E.B.
