"Bell hooks proposes an engaged pedagogy to counteract the overwhelming boredom, disinterest, and apathy that so often characterizes the way professors and students feel about the learning experience. hooks attributes student alienation in schools to discriminatory racist, sexist, and classist policies and practices ... This study is a critical analysis of hooks' engaged pedagogy, its basis, challenge, and promise for the learning/teaching process." (xvi).
