This time Derrick Jensen brings us into his classroomowhether college or maximum security prisonowhere he teaches writing. He reveals how schools perpetuate the great illusion that happiness lies outside of ourselves and that learning to please and submit to those in power makes us into lifelong clockwatchers.
As a writing teacher, Jensen guides his students out of the confines of traditional education to find their own voices, freedom, and creativity.
