Reviews

“This book broadens our understanding of Mississippi and deepens our understanding of its roots. Dr. Marlee Bunch’s creative exploration of Hattiesburg, one of the most important movement centers, shows how local ‘cultures of opposition’ were rooted in community, and Black women educators were often its nurturers.” —Charles M. Payne, author of So Much Reform, So Little Change: The Persistence of Failure in Urban Schools “In Unlearning the Hush, Marlee Bunch inspires a new generation of scholars to continue to forge a new curriculum and analysis because that is what our world demands of us. Unlearning the Hush brings us back to a truth that Mississippi and its deep history and enduring legacies are part of our entire education system. If we can see how and why we connect to this history, we are on the right path to perfecting this democracy for everyone.” —Jon Hale, author of A New Kind of Youth: Historically Black High Schools and Southern Student Activism, 1920–1975
