  Fugitive Pedagogy - Carter G...

  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.

  In a quiet and unassuming way, Contraduction is utterly brilliant. Every page has a thought so deep and unexpected that it stops you in your tracks, as you not only realize, “That’s a different, really interesting way to think about the world, exactly the opposite of how I normally view things” but also, “And it is absolutely equally valid (and enriching) to adopt this opposite way of thinking.” I loved this book. — Robert Sapolsky, author of The Blank Slate and Determined.An ingenious word for an invaluable concept. Sharp, clear, and timely. — Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of The Blank Slate and RationalityBoth a delightful read and a penetrating argument: Barker has invented an invaluable new concept, and puts it to work with clarity, wit, and above all conclusiveness. A must-have book! — A. C. Grayling, author of The History of Philosophy and The God ArgumentI am completely down with the concept of contraduction. It fills a need. False pattern recognitions pose a real danger to our survival. Well done! — Ann Druyan, author (with Carl Sagan) of Cosmos, Contact, and Demon Haunted WorldI love it when brilliant ideas are conveyed clearly and soundly. That’s why I love this book. Dan Barker has provided a much-needed explication of a common fallacy that needs to be understood and rebutted. It is an engaging, enlightening, and insightful book.—Phil Zuckerman, author of Society Without God and What it Means to be MoralWith Contraduction, Dan Barker gives us a new word—and a new way of looking at things. I thoroughly enjoyed this! So much to think about—and it made me laugh. What else could I ask for? — Kate Cohen, contributing columnist for the Washington Post and author of We of Little FaithI love how Dan Barker offers us a new word to help us understand how to think rationally in a fun, simple way. I will never look at my reflection in the mirror the same! — Bailey Harris, author of My Name is Stardust

  THIS BOOK CAN LITERALLY UPSET YOUR LIFE...Are you looking for the best tools to hack others' minds? Do you desire to make everyone do your bidding? Do you think that mind control is the most powerful key to having everything you want? Well, you are on the right track, so keep reading…Everyone wants success in life, but only a few admit that to themselves… Fewer admit that to others. Just try for a moment to think about the life you have always wanted, visualize it, and define an image that represents it.Now focus on the feeling that image generates ... Well, this is what is called daydreaming.But what if this dream could come true?Most of the books told you that to achieve success, you need to be a better person, the best version of yourself. True… but it’s not enough! What they don’t tell you is that you must develop the ability to make everyone do what do you want, when you want. You have just two methods. The first one is using a gun (but I don’t suggest this), and the second is MANIPULATION. I am telling you that manipulation is a fundamental key to achieving what you really want in life.Okay, but what does manipulation has to do with hypnosis?Hypnosis is the most powerful and subtle way to manipulate a mind. Hypnosis gives you access to the subconscious mind of a human being and you can literally overwrite his behavior. It’s not a joke. It was used for military scope and for inducing people to commit political murder, totally unaware and without a trace of it in their memory.Hey, I am not responsible of how you use this book. I just want you to tell you that to improve properly, this is a noble act and everyone can have benefits from applying these techniques.With this book, you can create wealth for you and people you love, or improve the relationship with your partner. So do good things with it!
