O knihe

A volume in Critical Constructions: Studies on Education and Society
Series Editor: Curry Stephenson Malott, Queens College/CUNY
This book simultaneously provides multiple analyses of critical pedagogy in the twenty-first century while
showcasing the scholarship of this new generation of critical scholar-educators. Needless to say, the writers
herein represent just a small subset of a much larger movement for critical transformation and a more
humane, less Eurocentric, less paternalistic, less homophobic, less patriarchical, less exploitative, and less
violent world. This volume highlights the finding that rigorous critical pedagogical approaches to education,
while still marginalized in many contexts, are being used in increasingly more classrooms for the benefit of
student learning, contributing, however indirectly, to the larger struggle against the barbarism of industrial,
neoliberal, militarized destructiveness. The challenge for critical pedagogy in the twenty-first century, from this point of view, includes contributing to
the manifestation of a truly global critical pedagogy that is epistemologically democratic and against human suffering and capitalist exploitation. These
rigorous, democratic, critical standards for measuring the value of our scholarship, including this volume of essays, should be the same that we use to
critique and transform the larger society in which we live and work.
