For more than 20 years Henry Giroux has challenged readers to
address the political exploitation and manipulation of American
youth. Now, this compelling new book offers a comprehensive
selection of Giroux's best works. From his most influential
classics to new, never before published essays, America on the Edge
offers an overview of Giroux's philosophies throughout his career.
From his classic subjects, such as education and democracy and
media and youth culture, to revolutionary new views on terrorism,
globalization, and morality, this book is essential for all Giroux
fans and educators alike. Henry Giroux provides a series of
brilliant and provocative essays on the rise of authoritarianism in
America, the rise of religious fundamentalism, the crisis of youth,
the militarizing of public space, the politics of the Abu Ghraib
prison scandal, the rise of the corporate university, the rise of
Orwellian newspeak in the media, the emergence of a hard-boiled
masculinity in popular culture, and what it means to reclaim hope
in dark times. These essays combine important social issues with an
accessible and clear language of historical understanding,
critique, and possibility. Giroux argues that the United States is
in the midst of a political crisis that is slowly undermining the
foundation of democratic politics, culture, and education. He also
argues that the crisis of politics is matched by a crisis of
imagination and that if democracy is going to survive it is
imperative to both rethink the nature of democracy while
refashioning a new political language and cultural politics capable
of both stopping the current turn toward authoritarianism and
reclaiming the possibilities of a substantive democracy.
