Description

In this powerful work, Bettina Love explores what it costs to imagine a better world—especially for Black children and families navigating systems that too often punish hope. Through a blend of cultural insight and educational critique, she examines how schooling, policy, and everyday power dynamics can restrict dreaming while demanding resilience and compliance. Centering themes of liberation, joy, and the right to dream, the book argues for rethinking education as a practice of freedom rather than control. With Love’s signature clarity and urgency, it offers both a diagnosis of harm and a compelling vision for building futures where imagination is protected and cultivated.
