Very topical, hoping to publish not long after the anniversary of
the Capitol Riots. Offers multiple readings of a single event, and
a variety of methodologies. Offers a strong balance between
well-established paradigms for analyzing political contexts and
recent theorizations of new/social media.
Henry A. Giroux is one of the most respected and well-known
critical education scholars, social critics, and astute observers
of popular culture in the modern world. For those who follow his
considerably influential work in critical pedagogy and social
criticism, this first-ever collection of his classic writings,

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are

keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Henry A. Giroux is one of the most respected and well-known
critical education scholars, social critics, and astute observers
of popular culture in the modern world. For those who follow his
considerably influential work in critical pedagogy and social
criticism, this first-ever collection of his classic writings,
augmented by a new essay, is a must-have volume that reveals his
evolution as a scholar. In it, he takes on three major
considerations central to pedagogy and schooling.The first section
offers Giroux's most widely read theoretical critiques on the
culture of positivism and technocratic rationality. He contends
that by emphasizing the logic of science and rationality rather
than taking a holistic worldview, these approaches fail to take
account of connections among social, political, and historical
forces or to consider the importance of such connections for the
process of schooling.In the second section, Giroux expands the
theoretical framework for conceptualizing and implementing his
version of critical pedagogy. His theory of border pedagogy
advocates a democratic public philosophy that embraces the notion
of difference as part of a common struggle to extend the quality of
public life. For Giroux, a student must function as a
border-crosser, as a person moving in and out of physical,
cultural, and social borders. He uses the popular medium of
Hollywood film to show students how they might understand their own
position as partly constructed within a dominant Eurocentric
tradition and how power and authority relate to the wider society
as well as to the classroom.In the last section, Giroux explores a
number of contemporary traditions and issues, including modernism,
postmodernism, and feminism, and discusses the matter of cultural
difference in the classroom. Finally, in an essay written
especially for this volume, Giroux analyzes the assault on
education and teachers as public intellectuals that began in the
Reagan-Bush era and continues today.
In a searing takedown of the populist authoritarian vision of
America, The Terror of the Unforeseen tackles the resurgence of
fascism in the age of Donald Trump's presidency. Through the
mendacious exchange of facts for "fake news," Henry A. Giroux
examines the language of hatred that activates neoliberal fascism,
complete with state-sanctioned racism, casino capitalism, and
fear-mongering at federal and local levels. In this "age of
disposability," Trump's rhetoric eschews reason and democratic
principles in favor of impetuous politics rooted in bigotry, all to
injuriously catastrophic effect. Through protests, strikes, and
education, Giroux proposes an international social movement that
joins together various modes of resistance to illuminate a
democratic renewal, and proves himself once again as one of the
great public intellectuals of our time.
A collection of writings, reflections, and interviews from
political philosopher and critical theorist Brad Evans, written
between 2010 and 2017. Evans collaborates with and interviews Simon
Critchley, Julian Reid, Adrian Parr, Henry Giroux, Grace Pollock,
Tyler Pollard, and Victoria Harper in his considerations of our era
of violence and confusion. Brad Evans has studied and written about
the history of violence for years and has been collaborating with
and interviewing the world’s greatest artists, humanists, and
philosophers about the human propensity for violence.
Incorporating post-modernism, cultural studies and literary theory,
Aronowitz and Giroux argue that new theoretical formulations are
necessary to analyze and transform educational institutions within
the context of a post-modern world. In a world that is rapidly
redefining relations between the centre and the margins and
questioning the legitimacy of master narratives, this book
discusses why it is no longer possible either to defend or analyze
educational institutions according to conservative, liberal or
radical theories dominated by a modernist faith in reason, science,
universal truths and Euro-centric culture. The authors aim to
provide an informed analysis of today's polemics surrounding the
topic of education and society, and to present a conceptual
framework for charting the future of directions educational theory
and practice.
