In "Constructing Twenty-First Century Socialism: The Role of
Radical Education," Motta and Cole explore the role of the politics
of knowledge and pedagogy in the reinvention of socialism for the
twenty-first century. Through a critical analysis of Brazil,
Colombia and Venezuela they deconstruct the mechanisms of
neoliberal control as an epistemological project of monologue,
closure, and violence against all 'others'. The authors develop an
affirmative engagement with the traditions, practices, and politics
which seek to challenge this closure through the policies of the
counter-hegemonic government of Venezuela, the struggles of social
movements in Brazil and Colombia, and the daily resistance of
critical educators working in formal educational settings in all
three countries. This mapping and analysis not only contribute to
struggles for alternatives to capitalism in Latin America, but are
translatable to other contexts. The book theorizes that with the
exhaustion of neoliberalism, it is time to pedagogize the political
and politicize the pedagogical in order to create worlds beyond
capitalism.

This book examines the multiple relationships between education,
pedagogy, and social change in Latin America and beyond. Marrying a
thorough discussion of the theories of such thinkers as Paulo
Freire, Antonio Gramsci, and Henri Lefebvre with analysis of how
their work can be usefully applied to think about education and
society in modern Latin America, this book shows how educational
institutions in Latin American can be and are being transformed.
With contributions on numerous countries as well as the region as a
whole from scholars who are committed to social change, Education
and Social Change in Latin America is both a guide to understanding
the politics of knowledge in Latin America today and a road map for
how we might continue to transform them.

development of new and politically enabling categories of analysis,
and new ways of understanding contemporary social movements. This
book shows how social movements in Africa, South Asia, Latin
America, and the Middle East politicize development in an age of
neoliberal hegemony"--
