Description: "This work by one of North America's leading educational theorists and cultural critics culminates a decade of social analyses that focus on the political economy of schooling, Paulo Freire and literacy education, hip-hop culture, and multicultural education. McLaren also examines the work of Baudrillard as well as Bourdieu's reflexive sociology.".

"Always in McLaren's work is a profound understanding of the relationship among advanced capitalism, the politics of knowledge, and the formation of identity. One of the central themes of this volume is the relationship between the political and the pedagogical for educators, activists, artists, and other cultural workers. McLaren argues that the central project ahead in the struggle for social justice is not so much the politics of diversity as the global decentering and dismantling of whiteness.

This volume also contains an interview with the author."--BOOK JACKET.
