There was only one Karl Marx, but there have been a multitude of
Marxisms. This concise, introductory book by internationally
renowned scholar Jean Anyon centers on the ideas of Marx that have
been used in education studies as a guide to theory, analysis,
research, and practice. Marx and Education begins with a brief
overview of basic Marxist ideas and terms and then traces some of
the main points scholars in education have been articulating since
the late 1970s. Following this trajectory, Anyon details how social
class analysis has developed in research and theory, how
understanding the roles of education in society is influenced by a
Marxian lens, how the failures of urban school reform can be
understood through the lens of political economy, and how cultural
analysis has laid the foundation for critical pedagogy in US
classrooms. She assesses ways neo-Marxist thought can contribute to
our understanding of issues that have arisen more recently and how
a Marxist analysis can be important to an adequate understanding
and transformation of the future of education and the economy. By
exemplifying what is relevant in Marx, and replacing that which has
been outdone by historical events, Marx and Education aims to
restore the utility of Marxism as a theoretical and practical tool
for educators.
