Summary:

This book brings together a group of leading international scholars to examine the paradoxical roles of schooling in reproducing and legitimizing large-scale structural inequalities along the axes of race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, and disability. Through critical engagements with contemporary theories of class and cultural critique, the book questions the inherited dogma that underlies liberal, conservative, and social democratic approaches to teaching and makes a spirited case for teaching as a critical and revolutionary act.
