Our educational system is in turmoil. Many would argue that it has
been assaulted and oversimplified by the right. There is growing
concern that we are becoming a liberal nation-state with an
increasingly anti-liberal population and an electorate that is
disinterested in politics. In this globalized world, the power of
capital is so great that opposition to it is often discouraged and
disheartened, leaving many citizens few political precepts by which
to consider their institutions. This contemporary failure of vision
has opened the way for the unimpeded return of the philosophy of
the free market. As a result, social and educational policies are
debated almost solely in terms of how they fit with the needs of
the market. Social and ethical understandings are replaced by a
failed economic theory that requires a radical constraint of our
political and economic choices. Compassion for the poor, the market
lets us know, is wrong-headed because any interference with the
labor market will always result in unfortunate economic and social
consequences. Moral issues are eclipsed by market needs. In
Critical Pedagogy: Where Are We Now? the contributors discuss how
the field of critical pedagogy should respond to such dire
conditions in a way that is theoretically savvy and visionary,
while concurrently contributing to the struggle to improve the
lives of those most hurt by them. Critical Pedagogy is essential
reading for every classroom teacher and pre-service teacher. It is
also a valuable tool for use in undergraduate and graduate-level
classrooms.
