This book is an appeal to those directly and indirectly involved in
education reform to reconsider the very nature of education as a
process of transformation and not, as the neoliberal corporate
model insists upon, as a "product." By using Paulo Freire's
fundamental principle of understanding "education as the practice
of freedom," and expanding upon it with bell hooks' own spiritual
understanding of that principle, this book offers readers the
opportunity to rethink what education is, and what it is not.
Utilizing the work of diverse thinkers and critics, the book lays
out a criticism of neoliberalism's profound influence on education
reform and our culture generally. It reaffirms the political and
ethical import of education for individuals and for our nation as a
whole.
