The primary focus of creativity research in mathematics is on the relationship of creativity with giftedness, which habitually is determined by SAT and other scholastic scores. This focus eliminates attention to the creativity of the ‘rank and file’ learners to the degree that almost nothing is known about creativity of ‘normal’ students, and in particular, about the creativity of underrepresented. That’s the content of Creativity Kidnapped. The second part of the essay offers the avenue for Liberation of Creativity, which is anchored in the concept of bisociation by Koestler, (1964), that is in the creativity of the Aha!Moment. Aha!Moment is widely known, common experience of creative insight. © Mathematics Teaching-Research Journal. All Rights Reserved
