This original account is based on the authors experiences with incarcerated girls participating in Girl Time, a program created by a theatre company that conducts playwriting and performance workshops in youth detention centers. In addition to examining the lives of these and other formerly incarcerated girls, Girl Time shares the stories of educators who dare to teach children who have been thrown away by their schools and society. The girls, primarily African American teens, write their own plays, learn ensemblebuilding techniques, explore societal themes, and engage in self analysis as they prepare for a final performance. The book describes some of the girls and their experiences in the program, examines the implications of the schooltoprison pipeline, and offers ways for young girls to avoid incarceration. Readers will learn how the lived experiences of incarcerated girls can inform their teaching in public school classrooms and the teaching of literacy as a civil and human right.Winn brings to mind theories of play and performance that rarely enter the professional preparation for teachers at the secondary level.Shirley Brice Heath, Stanford UniversityIn the brilliant hands of Maisha T. Winn, Girl Time harvests seeds and stories about girls living in juvenile settingsPenned in the ink of love, awe, despair, and dignity, the volume swings between documentary and possibility.From the Afterword by Michelle Fine, Graduate Center, CUNY
