In Teaching to Transgress bell hooks—writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual—writes about a new kind of education, *education as the practice of freedom*. Teaching students to "transgress" against racial, sexual and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for hooks, the teacher's most important goal.
