"Through a series of creative and tangible examples of what it means to work with Black youth, Dr. Johnson refuses to let us discard a simple question: what does it mean for Black youth to navigate the hostility and anti-Black violence of the U.S. schooling system? Additionally, his series of meditations push educators to contemplate a question of fugitivity and the future: what does it mean to work from a space of love knowing that ‘school’ in its historical and contemporary function is never intended to do right by you?"--David Stovall, Illinois University of Chicago, USA
