The decolonization of education necessarily involves a critique of
dominant ideologies, pedagogies, and the current organization of
education, to be replaced by what, in 1970, Paulo Freire called
"the pedagogy of the oppressed." Critical Theory and Pedagogy
presents a theory for decolonizing, democratizing, and
reconstructing education in order to meet the challenges of a
global and technological society. A democratic and intersectional
reconstruction of education must build on and synthesize
perspectives of classical philosophy of education, Deweyean radical
pragmatism, Freirean critical pedagogy, poststructuralism, and
critical theories of gender, race, class, sexuality, ethnicity,
disability, indigeneity, and more, while criticizing obsolete
idealist, elitist, and antidemocratic aspects of traditional
concepts of education. Articulating a metatheory for the philosophy
of education, while providing a historical genealogy and grounding
of key themes, Critical Theory and Pedagogy argues for a democratic
reconstruction of education that overcomes traditional, limiting,
and oppressive aspects—what Marx and Engels saw as "the ruling
ideas of the ruling class" and bell hooks reminds us includes the
colonization of subjects into White, Patriarchal Capitalism—and
embraces alternative pedagogies and principles suitable for the
present age. This project includes developing multiple critical
literacies as a response to digital technologies and developing
critical pedagogies to meet the challenges of globalization,
multiculturalism, and institutionalized racism, classism, and
sexism, while promoting radical democratization to counter the
trend toward the imposition of a neo-liberal business model of
education.
