商品簡介
The title of this collection also served as the theme of the October 2004 Second International Conference on Education, Labor, and Emancipation, from which the 15 papers presented here by Rossatto (teacher education, U. of Texas at El Paso), Allen (educational though and sociocultural studies, U. of New Mexico), and Pruyn (social studies education, New Mexico State U.) was taken. The collection is offered in the belief that critical pedagogy needs to be more welcoming of a wider representational and ideological array of the oppressed in way that can make it more of a counterhegemonic force. The papers are presented in three parts that, in turn, interrogate questions of race and ethnicity in critical pedagogy, critique established theoretical premises and concepts prevalent in the field, and present empirical studies applying new approaches to critical pedagogy.
