How do educators and activists in today's struggles for change use
historical materials from earlier periods of organizing for
political education? How do they create and engage with independent
and often informal archives and debates? How do they ultimately
connect this historical knowledge with contemporary struggles?
History's Schools aims to advance the understanding of
relationships between learning, knowledge production, history and
social change. This unique collection explores engagement with
activist/movement archives; learning and teaching militant
histories; lessons from liberatory and anti-imperialist struggles;
and learning from student, youth and education struggles. Six
chapters foreground insights from the breadth and diversity of
South Africa's rich progressive social movements; while others
explore connections between ideas and practices of historical and
contemporary struggles in other parts of the world including
Argentina, Iran, Britain, Palestine, and the US. Besides its great
relevance to scholars and students of Education, Sociology, and
History, this innovative title will be of particular interest to
adult educators, labour educators, archivists, community workers
and others concerned with education for social change.
Neville Alexander is not a household name, but he should be. As a
revolutionary public intellectual, activist and former political
prisoner, he is among the most important theorists of racial
capitalism to emerge during the struggle against Apartheid.
Alexander's writings engage with some of the important debates in
South Africa from the last 50 years, many of which have
international resonance today: from the unresolved national
question and the relationship between 'race' and class; the
continuities of racial capitalism in post-apartheid South Africa;
the role and purpose of schooling and higher education; and the
importance of nation building and multilingualism. An opponent of
the neoliberal trajectory embarked upon by the post-apartheid
establishment in the 1990s, Alexander was always reflective and
humble but never wavered from his own self-description: a
non-dogmatic Marxist, pan-Africanist and internationalist. This
carefully curated collection brings his incredible body of work to
an international audience for the first time. It features a
comprehensive introduction, a timeline of key events in the life of
Alexander, selected articles, speeches, op-eds, book chapters and a
bibliography of his writings.
Higher education has long been contested terrain. From student
movements to staff unions, the fight for accessible, critical and
quality public education has turned university campuses globally
into sites of struggle. Whether calling for the decommodification
or the decolonisation of education, many of these struggles have
attempted to draw on (and in turn, resonate with) longer histories
of popular resistance, broader social movements and radical visions
of a fairer world. In this critical collection, Aziz Choudry, Salim
Vally and a host of international contributors bring grounded,
analytical accounts of diverse struggles relating to higher
education into conversation with each other. Featuring
contributions written by students and staff members on the
frontline of struggles from 12 different countries, including
Canada, Chile, France, India, Mexico, Nigeria, Occupied Palestine,
the Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, the UK and the USA, the book
asks what can be learned from these movements' strategies, demands
and visions.
