We live in a time of unprecedented planetary ecocrisis, one that
poses the serious and ongoing threat of mass extinction. What role
can critical pedagogy play in the face of such burgeoning
catastrophe? Drawing upon a range of theoretical influences -
including Paulo Freire, Ivan Illich, Herbert Marcuse, traditional
ecological knowledge, and the cognitive praxis produced by today's
grassroots activists in the alter-globalization, animal and earth
liberation, and other radical social movements - this book offers
the foundations of a philosophy of ecopedagogy for the global
north. In so doing, it poses challenges to today's dominant
ecoliteracy paradigms and programs, such as education for
sustainable development, while theorizing the needed reconstruction
of critical pedagogy itself in light of our presently disastrous
ecological conditions. Students and teachers of critical pedagogy
at all levels, as well as those involved in environmental studies
and various forms of sustainability education, will find this book
a powerful provocation to adjust their thinking and practice to
better align with those who seek to abolish forms of culture
predicated upon planetary extermination and the domination of
nature.
