In Sing a Rhythm, Dance a Blues, Monique Couvson channels the legacy of Blues into something urgent and necessary: a pedagogy built on healing, resistance, and empowerment for Black girls. Couvson carefully describes what it takes to meet the complex needs of girls on the margins. Through case studies, interviews, and the voices of educators and activists who are already transforming schools, she makes a powerful case for moving away from punishment and toward care.
