Apple has sought to uncover and articulate the connections among knowledge, teaching, and power in education. His germinal was a watershed title in critical education studies, and has remained in print since its publication in 1979. The more than two dozen books and hundreds of papers, articles, and chapters published since have likewise all contributed to a greater understanding of the relationship between and among the economy, political, and cultural power in society on the one hand and the ways in which education is thought about, organized, and evaluated on the other\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this collection, Apple brings together 13 of his key writings in one place, providing an overview not just of his own career, but of the larger development of the field. A new introduction re- examines the scope of his work and his earlier arguments, and reflects on what remains to be done for those committed to critical education. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\"...these books (Can Education Change Society? and Knowledge, Power, and Education) together reminds us that all our individual and local counter-hegemonic efforts in our own colleges, departments, and home communities need to reach out to similar and more regional and national movements. It is the only through such efforts of counter-hegemonic extension that \"decentered unities\" are formed and Badiouian events occur. Although Badiouian events appear to happen suddenly and out of nowhere, in fact they typically follow years and decades (sometime centuries) of counter-hegemonic struggle.Apple's body of work, generally, and his most recent two books in particular, are a reminder and guide to the \"realization of the importance of understanding the connections amoung intersecting power relations and working toward the long-term goals involved in building [what Williams called] 'the long revolution'\"\u003c\/strong\u003e -\u003ci\u003e Hans G Despain, Nichols College Massachusetts, Marx \u0026amp; Philosophy Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Being a Scholar\/Activist: An Introduction to Knowledge, Power, and Education\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn Analyzing Hegemony\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 3\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommonsense Categories and the Politics of Labeling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 4\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeeing Education Relationally: The Stratification of Culture and People in the Sociology of School Knowledge (with Lois Weis)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCurricular Form and the Logic of Technical Control: Commodification Returns\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 6\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eControlling the Work of Teachers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 7\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Other Side of the Hidden Curriculum: Culture as Lived\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 8\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Culture and Commerce of the Textbook\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 9\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCultural Politics and the Text \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 10\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsuming the Other: Whiteness, Education, and Cheap French Fries \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 11\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Politics of Official Knowledge: Does a National Curriculum Make Sense? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 12\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProducing Inequalities: Conservative Modernization in Policy and Practice\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 13\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe Are the New Oppressed: Gender, Culture, and the Work of Home Schooling\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 14\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlobal Crises, Social Justice, and Teacher Education\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51767520035159,"sku":"9780415529006","price":49.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780415529006.jpg?v=1758713599","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/knowledge-power-and-education-9780415529006","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
