Distinguished scholar Michael Apple has done it again! His book is solid and compassionate. It is documented and analytical, and more importantly it is as theoretical as it is a call for action and change. A great contribution. --Dr. Carlos Alberto Torres, Professor of Social Sciences and Comparative Education, UCLA; Director, Paulo Freire Institute With a combination of a potent theoretical framework and serious empirical work, this volume offers a fresh and nuanced take on the relation between globalization and education, dealing with the concrete ways people experience it. --Luis Armando Gandin, Professor of Sociology of Education, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil In Global Crises, Social Justice and Education, Apple and his colleagues put before us a compelling set of accounts of education as a site of now globalizing political and social struggles. This collection offers us inspiration and hope, as well as a set of principles which might guide our struggles. --Susan Robertson, Professor Sociology of Education, University of Bristol, UK
