Pedagogy of Resistance : Against Manufactured Ignorance Paperback / softback
by Henry A. Giroux
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Henry A. Giroux argues that education holds a crucial role in shaping politics at a time when ignorance, lies and fake news have empowered right-wing groups and created deep divisions in society.
Education, with its increasingly corporate and conservative-based technologies, is partly responsible for creating these division.
It contributes to the pitting of people against each other through the lens of class, race, and any other differences that don't embrace White nationalism.
Giroux’s analysis ranges from the pandemic and the inequality it has revealed, to the rise of Trumpism and its afterlife, and to the work of Paulo Freire and how his book Pedagogy of Hope can guide us in these dark times and help us produce critical and informed citizens.
He argues that underlying the current climate of inequity, isolation, and social atomization (all exacerbated by the pandemic) is a crisis of education.
Out of this comes the need for a pedagogy of resistance that is accessible to everyone, built around a vision of hope for an alternative society rooted in the ideals of justice, equality, and freedom.
