Education and Cultural Politics: Interrogating Idiotic Education is
a conceptualization of protest and resistance against the cultural
politics of oppression and domination of people of African descent
in the Caribbean and North America. It is also a theorization of
their redemption from being victims of racism, classism, sexism,
and heterosexism. The book combines the theoretical models of
discrimination and oppression through the use of the axis of the
social evils to critically analyze the cultural politics of
education in relation to black people in the African Diaspora. It
does this through the lens of critical redemptive education which
is seen through an Afrocentric philosophy. The book illustrates how
the lives of black people are constructed by slavery and
colonialism which have etched their mores into the black psyche.
The book advocates the view that slavocracy, the colonial
construction of black psyche, is not indelible. It can be
deconstructed through conscience and reconstructed through a
non-idiotic, liberatory education using the philosophy of critical
redemptive education which fosters a genuine koinonia among black
communities serving as the antidote for the current black nihilism
in black communities which is the legacy of our oppressive
existence.
