In the second edition of this groundbreaking work, Derek R. Ford
contends that radical politics needs educational theory, posing a
series of educational questions pertinent to revolutionary
movements: How can pedagogy bridge the gap between what is and what
can be, while respecting the gap and its uncertainty and
contingency? How can pedagogy accommodate ambiguity while remaining
faithful to the communist project? In answering these questions,
Ford develops a dyanmic pedagogical constellation that radically
opens up what education is and what it can mean for revolutionary
struggle. In charting this constellation, Ford takes the reader on
a journey that traverses disciplinary boundaries, innovatively
reading theorists as diverse as Lenin, Agamben, Marx, Lyotard,
Althusser, and Butler. Demonstrating how learning underpins
capitalism and democracy, Ford articulates a theory of communist
study as an alternative and oppositional logic that, perhaps
paradoxically, demands the revolutionary reclamation of testing.
Poetic, performative, and provocative, communist study is oriented
toward what Ford calls "the sublime feeling of being-in-common,"
which, as he insists, is always a commonness against.
