The word fundamentalism usually conjures up images of religions and
their most zealous followers. Much less often the word appears in
connection with political economy. The phrase "free market" gives
the connotation that capitalism is freedom. Neoliberalism is the
rise of global free-market fundamentalism. It reaches into nearly
every aspect of our daily lives as it seeks to dominate and
eliminate the last vestiges of public domains through wanton
privatization and deregulation. It degrades all that is public. The
good news is that a global community of resistance continues to
struggle against neoliberal oppression. Formal and informal
education entities contribute to these struggles, offering visions
and strategies for creating a better future. The purpose of this
volume is twofold. Several contributors will highlight how the
neoliberal agenda is impacting educational policy formation,
teaching and learning, and relationships between institutions of
higher education and communities. Other contributors will highlight
how the global community has gradually become conscious of the
ideological doctrine and how it is responsible for human suffering
and misery. The volume is needed because the growing body of
educational research linked to exploring the impact of
neoliberalism on education and society fails to provide conceptual
or historical understanding of this ideology. It is also an
important scholarly intervention because it provides insights as to
why educators, scholars, and other global citizens have challenged
the intrusion of market forces over life inside universities and
colleges. Teaching faculty, research faculty, and anyone who yearns
to understand what is behind the debilitating trend of commercial
forces subverting humanizing educational projects would benefit
from this volume. Activists, educators, youth, and scholars who
seek strategies and visions for building democratic higher
education and a more democratic society would consider this volume
essential reading.
