Theory and Resistance in Education

Towards a Pedagogy for the Opposition

About this book

Reissued with a new introduction from Henry A. Giroux, this classic work provides theoretical and political tools for addressing how pedagogy, knowledge, resistance, and power can be analyzed within and across a variety of cultural spheres, including but not limited to the schools. The time for radical social change has never been so urgent, since the fate of an entire generation of young people, if not democracy itself, is at stake. Giroux argues that challenge gives new meaning to the importance of resistance, the relevance of pedagogy, and the significance of political agency. In a time of growing fascism, Giroux argues that resistance is not an option but a necessity. The book includes a foreword by Paulo Freire and a preface by Stanley Aronowitz.
