Summary:

Giroux (English and cultural studies, McMaster U., Canada) wrote most of the nine essays collected in this volume during the past decade, but some go back over 30 years, and the fact that they are still relevant, he says, demonstrates the ongoing attack on the very nature and condition of public and higher education in the US. He discusses pedagogy as cultural politics; critical pedagogy and the politics of youth; neoliberalism, public pedagogy, and the legacy of Paulo Freire; and whether critical pedagogy has a future.
