two questions orient the arc of this book. First, how should we diagnose and conceptualize the temporal domination of racial injustice? Second, if we have internalized this form of life then with what resources can we develop principles for a transformed and free form of life that we have never experienced?

Showing the link between the mandatory use of textbooks and the feeble position of the teacher, Gandhi wrote in an article in Harijan: ‘If textbooks are treated as a vehicle for education, the living word of the teacher has very little value. A teacher who teaches from textbooks does not import originality to his pupils’ (Gandhi 1939).
