description: The aim of this special issue on “Education for Revolution” is connecting the long view to what must also be a long slog and this necessarily involves a careful look at existing local, national, and international conditions; working out tactics and strategies that all can understand, none taken apart from a grand strategy of equality and justice.


This is the second publication to emerge from an ongoing collaboration between the journals Works and Days (print) and Cultural Logic (online). Both journals provide forums for scholarly explorations of cultural studies, pedagogy, institutional critique, and critical university studies. The first collaboration produced “Culture and Crisis,” edited by Joseph G. Ramsey (Works and Days 59/60, Vol. 30 (2012) and Cultural Logic Vol. 17, 2010).


We would like to thank the contributors to this issue for their tremendous scholarship as well as their patience we prepared the issue. This is our second opportunity to put together an issue of Cultural Logic that focuses on radical education. The first issue, “Marxism and Education,” was published in the fall of 2000 (Cultural Logic Vol. 7) and was the basis for what became the award wining book Neoliberalism and Education Reform, published by Hampton Press in 2006. The current issue is, in many ways, its sequel.


It has been our great pleasure to work with David B. Downing, editor of Works and Days. David and his editorial team, including Nicholas P. Katsiadas, Tracy J. Lassiter, and Reza Parchizadeh contributed in significant ways to the quality and success of this issue and we are greatly indebted to them for their work. Please read their “Foreword to the Revolution” for a substantive overview of the articles in this issue.


The print version of this special issue was published by Works and Days in December 2013. The online version of the issue first appeared in Cultural Logic 2013, but was initially published in the summer of 2014.
