First sentence: If we think of critical educational research as a social room of different groups of people, we find that during the later part of the 1980s "new kids" arrived to articulate and explore questions and ideas about the politics of knowledge untouched or undeveloped in other critical traditions; these ideas later were called "postmodernism" and "poststructuralism," as well as, in some cases, a re-visioned Marxism that emphasized what Stuart Hall (1986) called, "a Marxism without guarantees."
