Description
Henry A. Giroux's On Critical Pedagogy is a seminal work that has shaped the field of critical pedagogy over the past 40 years. This second edition includes four new chapters addressing the rise of fascist culture and the dictatorship of ignorance in contemporary society. Giroux examines the relationship between education, culture, politics, and society, arguing against the reduction of schooling to training and the commodification of students. He critiques the empirical orientation of teaching, highlighting the dangers of a positivist culture that undermines democratic schooling in public and higher education. The book also considers the legacy of Paulo Freire and issues a fundamental challenge to educators and public intellectuals who believe in radical democracy. This thought-provoking work remains relevant today, offering insights into the challenges facing education in an age of growing authoritarianism and right-wing populism.
