In postindustrial economies such as the United States and Great
Britain, the black/white achievement gap is perpetuated by an
emphasis on language and language skills, with which black American
and black British-Caribbean youths often struggle. This work
analyzes the nature of educational pedagogy in the contemporary
capitalist world-system under American hegemony. Mocombe and Tomlin
interpret the role of education as an institutional or ideological
apparatus for capitalist domination, and examine the
sociolinguistic means or pedagogies by which global and local
social actors are educated within the capitalist world-system to
serve the needs of capital; i.e., capital accumulation. Two
specific case studies, one in the United States and one in the
United Kingdom, are utilized to demonstrate how contemporary
educational emphasis on language and literacy parallels the
organization of work and contributes to the debate on academic
underachievement of black students vis-a-vis their white and Asian
counterparts.
