Community-based Learning and Social Movements: Popular Education in a Populist Age


Add your own review!

Overview

Promoting popular education and community learning, this book fills in the gap for an accessible resource that responds to 'fake news' and Far Right populism. The rise of Far-Right populism poses major challenges for communities, exacerbating divisions, hate speech and hate crime. Mayo shows how communities and social justice movements can effectively tackle these issues, working together to mitigate their underlying causes and more immediate manifestations. Proving that community-based learning is integral to the development of strategies to promote more hopeful rather than more hateful futures, Mayo demonstrates how, through popular education and participatory action research, communities can develop their own understandings of, and solutions to, their problems.
