Sommario/riassunto

The Black Panther Party and Transformative Pedagogy: Place-Based Education in Philadelphia, by Omari L. Dyson, draws attention to the social dynamics that spawned a Philadelphia Branch of the Black Panther Party. By attending to this historical moment in the Black Power Movement, the author has nested this organization as a key force in oppressed people's continual struggle to secure economical, political, social, and cultural liberation.
