Through her evocative paintings and narrative, author Arlene Goldbard has portrayed eleven people whose work most influenced her--what she calls a camp of angels. She sees each as a brave messenger of love and freedom for a society that badly needs \"uncolonized minds.\" Goldbard describes how the learning from each changed the course of her life in essays that offer generative moments of a life in art and social change. She also reveals ways a dominant society tried to put a first-generation American from a socially marginal family in her place--and failed. Readers will learn about the author's own self education, issues of formal higher education and its discontents, and the damage done by a society that prizes profits over people. Goldbard asks readers to consider the impact of credentialism on U.S. society and what we can do to set it right.","brand":"New Village Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47595841192087,"sku":"9781613321980","price":3653.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781613321980.webp?v=1774991405","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/in-the-camp-of-angels-of-freedom-what-does-it-mean-to-be-educated-9781613321980","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
