This volume by noted critical education scholar Carlos Alberto
Torres takes up the question of how structural changes in schooling
and the growing impacts of neoliberalism and globalization affect
social change, national development, and democratic educational
systems throughout the world. The first section of the book offers
analytical avenues to understand and criticize the practices and
policies of neoliberal states, both domestically and
internationally. More than a mere lament of the state of
educational policy, however, Torres also documents the critiques
and alternatives developed by social movements against neoliberal
governments and policies. Ultimately, his work urges readers to
engage in the struggle to resist the oppressive forces of
neoliberal globalization, and proactively and deliberately act in
informed ways to create a better world.
