Black Protest Thought and Education and more, A PTR Interview with Dr. William H. Watkins
http://williamhwatkins.com/index.html
Black Protest Thought and EducationWilliam H. Watkins' "Black Protest Thought and Education," represents a much needed look at the reform and revolutionary efforts within the African Diaspora to teach oppressed people to challenge the social, economic and political system containing an array of obstacles preventing the ruled from challenging their rulers.
While the book is decidedly written in academ-ese, it is worth the effort. I grew up, one of four children of former share-croppers who made the migration to the north with my father landing at General Motors in Flint, MI. Whatever we had my father earned through diligence, thrift, hard work and delayed gratification. Education was our ticket into the promise of middle class security. Therefore, my parents and their friends had no time for the likes of Black Panthers, or other black folks creating discord, demanding revolution. Little did they know that the discord from the likes of the Panthers, Nyerere, Garvey and Lorde was forging another America, where not only could we attend college, but we could get there from the front of the bus rather than the back. This gem of a book points out the fight for a pedagogy that endeavors to create an environment where existing power relations can be examined, analyzed and challenged from the perspective of the African American's social, cultural and experiential position in a capitalist/colonial system.
