Köp båda 2 för 1939 krThe importance of a work that grounds critical educational theory in its Marxist foundations and that constitutes an uncompromising socialist project dedicated to educating towards a just society, cannot be understated. This book will provocatively engage all scholars who consider the multiple roles of schooling in society. -- Jill Pinkey Pastrana, California State University, Long Beach The scholarship is impressive. . . . It is a book which will certainly be of interest to any educators who want to build a society where socialism can flourish. * Journal Of In-Service Education * This book is an aid to thought, not just interpretation. Its central theme (that education is of necessity a political activity) is one that needs debate outside the walls of academia. * Times Educational Supplement * The essential message is that Marxism still matters, and this collection highlights the importance of this perspective in educational theory. The postmodern argument that metanarratives are now redundant should be rightly reassessed and this book is a vehicle for that reassessment. * Educational Research * There is undoubtedly a need for a contemporary rigorous Marxist-inspired critique of postmodernism and poststructuralism in educational settings and this book is certainly that. * British Journal of Educational Studies * By engaging rather than rejecting postmodern theory, Marxism Against Postmodernism critically assesses the value of recent theoretical production and offers interstices of hope for committed educators and public intellectuals. I applaud the books timeliness and its authors courage. -- Zeus Leonardo, Editor of Critical Pedagogy and Race, California State University, Long Beach Quite simply, this is a brilliant book. In an interesting succession of chapters, the authors of this text show where postmodernism falls short, and they offer the sort of analysis that promises to bring critical education back on track. . . . I urge readers to buy, read, and also use this book as the basis for discussion with students and colleagues. With it there is hope that before long we may be seeing a real turn toward the type of critical educational theorising that is so desperately needed to combat the neo-liberal policy assault that has been regressively transforming state education, on both sides of the Atlantic, for well over a decade. -- Paula Allman, University of Nottingham Marxism Against Postmodernism in Educational Theory is a compelling, insightful, and powerfully provocative book. Dave Hill, Mike Cole, Peter McLaren, and Glenn Rikowski have not only assembled a collection of essays which are theoretically rich, engaging, and committed to the ideals of democracy and social change, but they also clearly articulate the importance and urgency of incorporating a renewed Marxist perspective in the analysis of educational theory. -- Gustavo E. Fischman, Charter College of Education, California State University, Los Angeles The issues raised by the authors and their eloquent arguments detailing Marxism?s enduring relevance will be of interest to activist scholars across the spectrum of academic disciplines. -- Valerie Scatamburlo-D'Annibale, University of Windsor For those of us who still dare to envision a world liberated from the imperatives of capital and the brutalities of market-discipline, the individual and collective efforts of Glenn Rikowski, Mike Cole, Dave Hill, and Peter McLaren help us all sustain our cautious optimism for the future. Not only do they remind us that history and ideology have NOT come to a close, they also let us see how incredibly premature we would be to discard Marx as a source of insight into our contemporary condition. -- David Gabbard, East Carolina University For those who have insisted that Marx's work is still relevant in order to understand the problems and possibilities facing societies and schools during this historical period of recurrent 'gales of creative destruction,&a
