Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review«This book clearly demonstrates why it is so crucial for critical analyses to work across disciplinary and geographic borders. Its authors make crucial and insightful contributions to our understanding of cultural politics and education. Cameron McCarthy and Cathryn Teasley are to be commended for the quality of this volume.» (Michael W. Apple, University of Wisconsin, Madison)
«This timely collection speaks to the power of articulating critical cultural agency to the transnational realm in which neoliberal capitalism operates more freely and rapidly than ever. Its strikingly cross-cultural, interdisciplinary authorship tackles some of the most profoundly crucial issues facing educators, policymakers, mass media agents, and the general polities of democratic societies across the globe: issues such as how best to promote social justice ‘culturally’ in an increasingly multicultural, globalized world.» (José Gimeno Sacristán, University of Valencia, Department of Curriculum, Instruction, and School Organization)
