Abolitionist teaching, as a book category, centers work that reimagines education through the lens of abolitionist politics—rejecting punitive, carceral, and deficit-based approaches to schooling and instead advocating for practices and systems grounded in collective care, racial and social justice, and community accountability. Titles in this category combine theory and praxis: critical analyses of how racism, policing, and exclusion operate in schools; histories and memoirs linking broader abolition movements to classroom life; concrete curricula, restorative justice strategies, and teacher reflections that build alternatives to exclusion, surveillance, and punishment. These books speak to educators, activists, policymakers, and students interested in transforming classrooms and institutions toward healing, belonging, and democratic participation, often drawing on critical pedagogy, anti-racist scholarship, and grassroots organizing.
