Make no mistake, de-centering canonical texts and book banning are not the same. Offering a variety of texts w/characters, stories, and histories that have been marginalized, silenced, and ignored in traditional texts is NOT the same as banning books.

What questions do you have for us? #DisruptTexts

Racism requires for its perpetrators to separate the human from the body, or dehumanization. It has internal effects & the thing is, it's killing us all. It is murdering many of us and rotting White America.

I want to address white people who built successful careers off of 'studying' Black, Latinx, and/or Indigenous communities: have you offered space/training opportunities/mentoring/tangible resources to members of the community whose suffering you benefit from? If not, why not?

What suggestions can you share? #DisruptTexts

NOW AVAILABLE from Penguin Classics and #DisruptTexts: the “What is a ‘Classic?’“ educator’s guide written by Find me at @triciaebarvia on all the other apps and Julia E. Torres (has two more papers to write). The guide explores the implications when a text is bestowed the label of “classic.” Check it out here: penguinrandomhousehighereducation.com/2022/05/31/wha…
