O knihe

Education has long been viewed as a vehicle for building community. However, the critical role of education
and schools for constructing community resistance is undermined by recent trends toward the centralization
of educational policy-making (e.g. racial profiling new laws in the US-Arizona and Texas; No Child Left
Behind and global racism), the normalization of "globalization" as a vehicle for the advancement of
economic neo-liberalism and social hegemony, and the commodification of schooling in the service of
corporate capitalism. Alternative visions of schooling are urgently needed to transform these dangerous
trends so as to reconstruct public education as an emancipatory social project.
Teaching for Global Community: Overcoming the Divide and Conquer Strategies of the Oppressor examines
these issues among related others as a way to honor and re-examine Freirean principles and aim to take
critical pedagogy in new directions for a new generation. The goal is to build upon past accomplishments of
Paulo Freire's work and critical pedagogy while moving beyond its historical limitations. This includes
efforts that revisit and re-evaluate established topics in the field or take on new areas of contestation. Issues
related to education, labor, and emancipation, broadly defined and from diverse geographical context, are addressed. The theoretical perspectives used
to look at these emerge from critical pedagogy, critical race theory, critiques of globalization and neoliberalism, marxist and neo-marxist perspectives,
social constructivism, comparative/international education, postmodernism indigenous perspectives, feminist theory, queer theory, poststructuralism,
critical environmental studies, postcolonial studies, liberation theology, with a deep commitment to social justice.
