We live in a world where thousands make massive profits out of the
labours of others, while those others exist as wage slaves,
millions of whom die of starvation and poverty-related illness
every year. The fundamental aim of Marxism is the overthrow of the
anarchic, exploitative and eco-destructive system of world
capitalism and its replacement by world socialism and equality. To
build a socialist world is a task of gargantuan proportions, but
one that Marxists believe is eminently achievable. This book
addresses some of these challenges from within educational theory.
The key theoretical issues addressed are: utopian socialism
poststructuralism and postmodernism transmodernism globalisation,
neo-liberalism and environmental destruction the new imperialism
critical race theory. Marxism and Educational Theory compellingly
and informatively propels the debate forward in the pursuit of that
socialist future. In that quest, suggestions are made to connect
theoretical issues with the more practical concerns of the school
and the classroom. With a specially written Foreword by Peter
McLaren, this timely book will be of interest to academics and
students interested in educational theory, the sociology of
education, sociology, politics, philosophy and critical theory.
