"This book is indispensable for anyone striving to combine the practical and the passionate realms in social justice education work. Leticia Nieto offers fresh insights into the meaning of “liberatory relationship” as she teaches us new skills to transform spaces socially. People seriously engaged in social change will find an experienced guide, very good company, and a variety of useful performance strategies to teach social justice. Leticia Nieto’s disquieting and gentle approach is energizing, radical, and inviting."
