A fresh portrayal of one of the architects of the African American intellectual tradition, whose faith in the subversive power of education will inspire teachers and learners today.Black education was a subversive act from its inception. African Americans pursued education through clandestine means, often in defiance of law and custom, even under threat of violence. They developed what Jarvis Givens calls a tradition of “fugitive pedagogy”—a theory and practice of Black education in America. The enslaved learned to read in spite of widespread prohibitions; newly emancipated people braved the dangers of integrating all-White schools and the hardships of building Black schools. Teachers developed covert instructional strategies, creative responses to the persistence of White opposition. From slavery through the Jim Crow era, Black people passed down this educational heritage.There is perhaps no better exemplar of this heritage than Carter G. Woodson—groundbreaking historian, founder of Black History Month, and legendary educator under Jim Crow. Givens shows that Woodson succeeded because of the world of Black teachers to which he belonged: Woodson’s first teachers were his formerly enslaved uncles; he himself taught for nearly thirty years; and he spent his life partnering with educators to transform the lives of Black students. Fugitive Pedagogy chronicles Woodson’s efforts to fight against the “mis-education of the Negro” by helping teachers and students to see themselves and their mission as set apart from an anti-Black world. Teachers, students, families, and communities worked together, using Woodson’s materials and methods as they fought for power in schools and continued the work of fugitive pedagogy. Forged in slavery, embodied by Woodson, this tradition of escape remains essential for teachers and students today.

I didn’t exactly know what to expect when I picked up this book, but it far exceeded my expectations. While it is a scholarly, extremely well-researched, and vigorously cited text, it is written in a way that is approachable to a lay person with interest in the topic. In some ways the book is poetic, as it paints vivid pictures to help readers imagine what it must have felt like to learn in secret or resist the sanctioned lesson plans as Dr. Woodson and heroines like Tessie McGee did. In Fugitive Pedagogy, Dr. Givens allows his reader to grasp the fullness of the legacy of Carter G. Woodson in the context of his deep and expansive contributions to Black teaching. His exploration of Woodson is refreshing, because it moves him far past the one line that he’s typically given as the “Father of Black History” and revealed a depth and complexity to his struggles and triumphs. It also properly situates Woodson as a notable third and unique perspective in the Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois conversation. This positioning forced me to rethink whether the binary between them as we’ve grown to discuss it was ever properly framed.My favorite thing about this book is it’s treatment of Black women as part of the historical record and as key catalysts of fugitive pedagogy. Although Woodson is the central character, from the book’s opening paragraph and throughout each chapter there is detailed discussion of the important roles women like Tessie McGee, Anna Julia Cooper, Ida B. Wells, Mary McLeod Bethune, and countless others played as Black educational thinkers who challenged white paternalistic tradition in the classroom and through the teacher organizations they led and were apart of.The idea that Black folks experience as “fugitive” had spilled into and had a profound impact on Black educational tradition from our arrival in the US until now was not something I’d thought about before reading this book, and now I can’t stop thinking about it. Overall fascinating and thought-provoking read. I look forward to reading more titles from Dr. Givens. Highly recommend!!!
