Sweet Honey in the Rock
A Brief Moment in the Sun
White backlash is the immediate, violent response of some white people to the actual and perceived racial and educational progress of oppressed groups. In this paper, we take a historical detour to map this phenomenon, specifically in the history of K-12 Black education. We demonstrate that the current state of education is not an exceptional moment, but part of a long genealogy of anti-Black educational violence and white backlash. Yet, we sugge…
“No Trifling Matter”
Operating within the Black radical tradition, through this kitchen-table talk, we seek to edify and sustain abolitionist ontologies. We begin with poetic and musical offerings that highlight our personal connections to abolition, before exploring the complexities and necessities of relationship building as foundational for this work. We encounter the incommensurability of doing abolitionist work within institutions and systems that have attempted…
A Radical Doctrine
In the United States of America, the year 2020 will be remembered as a year of sorrow, infection, greed, violence, loss, devastation, protest, resistance, and death. The tragedies of this year were made possible by America’s long history and obsession with anti-Blackness, racism, white supremacy, violence, and capitalism. America’s schools, populated by Black, Brown, and Indigenous children for centuries, have ensured the wrath of this rage. With…
What do we have to lose
This issue is filled with moving articles that give us a road map as educators serve to disrupt, agitate, and abolish systems, policies, and instruction, taking up Love’s Abolitionist Teaching and Muhammad’s notion of Agitation Literacies. Abolitionist Teaching is built on the creativity, imagination, boldness, ingenuity, and rebellious spirit and methods of abolitionists to demand and fight for an educational system where all students are thrivi…
Outstanding
In this article we argue that latent and explicit theories of Black insufficiency shape how achievement gaps are defined and assessed in civic education research. We engage the substantive historical and conceptual precedent for rejecting the gap framing. Our call to action demands that radical points of departure are needed to produce loving and valid accounts of Black kids’ civic worlds
A Ratchet Lens
This article explores the utilization of the theory of a Black ratchet imagination as a methodological perspective to examine the multiple intersections of Black and queer identity constructions within the space of hip hop. In particular, I argue for the need of a methodological lens that recognizes, appreciates, and struggles with the fluidity, imagination, precarity, agency, and knowledge production of Black queer youth who create and consume h…
Anti-Black state violence, classroom edition
In October of 2015, a Black girl at Spring Valley High School in Columbia, South Carolina was thrown out of her desk and across the floor by the school's resource officer, Ben Fields, for refusing ...
No there is nothing wrong with your eyes, my letterhead is indeed crooked”
To date, there is a noticeable lack of studies that focus exclusively on the pedagogical practices, teaching experiences, identity, and gender performances of Black and Brown lesbian educators (BBLE). This special issue of the Journal of Lesbian Studies aims to make the hyperinvisibility of BBLE visible and proposes to fill this scholarly gap by exploring this topic from a variety of cultural and disciplinary perspectives
She has a real connection with them”
Through narrative inquiry, utilizing in-depth interviews and field observations, the goal of this research is to begin a dialogue within the field of education and mentoring scholarship that expands the mentoring of Black males beyond traditional norms of sex and gender identities/performances to reimagine the ways in which Black female masculinity can be a site of mentoring for Black and Brown boys
Good Kids, Mad Cities
The author draws from the works of Kevin Quashie and Kendrick Lamar to analyze the ways in which Black bodies in Hip Hop culture can represent resistance while being quiet, still, or building on existential consciousness from their interior. As many youth of color are good kids in mad cities, the article focuses on the question, 'What does it mean for a generation of youth who are coming of age under the loud publicness of Hip Hop, racism, state …
What Is Hip-Hop-Based Education Doing in Nice Fields Such as Early Childhood and Elementary Education
Hip-Hop-Based Education (HHBE) has resulted in many positive educational outcomes, ranging from teaching academic skills to teaching critical reflection at secondary levels. Given what HHBE initiatives have accomplished, it is troubling that there is an absence of attention to these methods in education programs for elementary and early childhood educators. For that reason, I intend to use theories of sociocultural learning to examine how young u…
I See Trayvon Martin”
Go Underground or in Your Face
Single-sex Catholic schools are guided by inclusive messages regarding sexuality, homosexuality, and combating homophobia. However, it appears that these official messages have little effect on the heteronormative climates found in such schools. Using the perspective of queer theory, we investigated the experiences of three queer females who attended all-girls Catholic high schools. All three reported climates that stifled homosexuality and promo…

When University of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard was brutally killed for being gay in 1998, hate crimes against homosexuals began to be acknowledged as malicious acts. For students who identified
