Overview

Revolution and Pedagogy explores the tensions between and within the processes of revolutionary pedagogical change and continuity. Contributors examine conventional topics such as school policies and curricula, as well as more non-traditional pedagogies such as public celebrations of holidays, participation in international exchange programs, and the incarceration of political activists.

Reviews

In an age of sterile defeatism and destructive cynicism, this book provides a refreshingly balanced look at the possibilities of social change through pedagogy. It contains essays based on a strong belief in the power of pedagogy to shake the foundations of hegemonic education; to challenge neo-liberal economic and cultural policies; and to re-imagine and work towards a more democratic and just world. It re-visits previous times and places where hope appeared impractical, exploring the possibilities of social intervention through collective struggle and critical education. --Fazal Rizvi, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign<br>
