Encyclopaedia of Marxism and Education

Alpesh Maisuria, Ph.D, is Associate Professor of Education Policy in Critical Education at University of the West of England, Bristol, UK. Maisuria has an extensive publications record, including authoring Class Consciousness and Education in Sweden, and also Life for the Academic in the Neoliberal University, both published by Routledge.

"The encyclopaedia not only provides a thorough critique of the effects of neoliberal policies on education but also unravels a myriad of reasons for the condition of our world, which is marked by super-exploitation and intensification of labour, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. [...] This encyclopaedia illuminates a path out of the growing darkness, which threatens not only the human species but our whole planet because capitalism shapes not only people in the Global North and South but also adversely affects Nature through commodification and marketisation". Dr. Dilnaz Boga and Rohit Ranjan in CounterCurrents.org. Read the full review here.
