First published in 1982, Education and Power remains an important
volume for those committed to critical education. In this text
Michael Apple first articulated his theory on educational
institutions and the reproduction of and resistance to unequal
power relations, and provided a thorough examination of the ways in
which race-gender-class dynamics are embedded in, and reflected
through, curricular issues. While many of the theories set forward
in this book are now taken for granted by the left in education,
they were nothing short of revolutionary when first proposed. In
this newly reissued classic edition, Apple suggests that we need to
take seriously the complicated and contradictory economic,
political and cultural structures that provide for some of the most
important limits on, and possibilities for, critical education. He
re-examines his earlier arguments and reflects on what has happened
over the intervening years. Education and Power is a vital example
of the call to challenge the assumptions that underpin so much of
what happens in education.
