The essays in this volume explore the educational implications of
unsettling shifts in contemporary culture associated with
postmodernism. These shifts include the fragmentation of
established power blocs, the emergence of a politics of identity,
growing inequalities between the haves and the have-nots in a new
global economy, and the rise in influence of popular culture in
defining who we are. In the academy, postmodernism has been
associated with the emergence of new theoretical perspectives that
are unsettling the way we think about education. These shifts, the
authors suggest, are deeply contradictory and may lead in divergent
political directions--some of them quite dangerous.
"Power/Knowledge/Pedagogy" examines these issues with regard to
four broad domains of educational inquiry: state educational policy
and curriculum reform, student identity formation, the curriculum
as a text, and critical pedagogy. The book contributes to the
dialogue on the forging of a new commonsense discourse on
democratic educational renewal, attuned to the changing times in
which we live.
